Why cooking pots are provided with wooden or plastic handles

1 answer:

7 0

Metal cooking pots and pans often have wooden handles. Wood has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat a wooden handle than a metal handle. As a result, a wooden handle would heat up more slowly and be less likely to burn your hand when you touch it.

The planet Mars has a mass of 6.1 × 1023 kg and radius of 3.4 × 106 m. What is the acceleration of an object in free fall near t

Oksanka [162]

The acceleration due to gravity of Mars is $3.5\ m / s^{2}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

As per universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. But in the present case, the gravity need to be determined between Mars and the object on Mars. Since the mass of Mars is greater than the mass of any object. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational force of planet}=\frac{G M m}{R^{2}}$

Here, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of Mars and M, m is the mass of Mars and the object respectively..

Also, according to Newton’s second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be equal to the ratio of force exerted on it to the mass of the object.

So in order to determine the acceleration due to gravity of Mars, divide the gravitational force of Mars by mass of object on the surface of Mars.

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{\text {Gravitational force of Mars}}{m \text { of object }}$

$Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity\ of\ mars =\frac{G M m}{R^{2} \times m}=\frac{G M}{R^{2}}$

$\text { Acceleration due to gravity of mars }=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11} \times 6.1 \times 10^{23}}{3.4 \times 3.4 \times 10^{12}}=\frac{40.703 \times 10^{12}}{11.56 \times 10^{12}}$

$\text { Acceleration }=3.5\ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

A 0.12 kg body undergoes simple harmonic motion of amplitude 8.5 cm and period 0.20 s. (a) What is themagnitude of the maximum f

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 0.12 kg

Amplitude ,A= 8.5 cm

time period ,T = 0.2 s

We know that

$T=\dfrac{2\pi}{\omega}$

${\omega}=\dfrac{2\pi }{0.2}\ rad/s$

${\omega}=31.41\ rad/s$

We know that

${\omega}^2=m\ K$

K=Spring constant

$K=\dfrac{\omega^2}{m}$

$K=\dfrac{31.41^2}{0.12}\ N/m$

K=8221.56 N/m

The maximum force F

F= K A

F= 8221.56 x 0.085 N

F=698.83 N

a)F=698.83 N

b)K=8221.56 N/m

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
