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 mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 170 kg. The air outside is at 10.0°C and 101 kPa.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

108.37°C

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 101 kPa

V₁ = Initial volume = 530 m³

T₁ = Initial temperature = 10°C = 10+273.15 =283.15 K

P₂ = Final pressure = 101 kPa (because it is open to atmosphere)

V₂ = Final volume = 530 m³

P₁V₁ = n₁RT₁

⇒101×530 = n₁RT₁

⇒53530 J = n₁RT₁

P₂V₂ = n₂RT₂

⇒53530 J = n₂RT₂

$\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\rho V_1}{\rho V_1-170}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{1.244\times 530}{1.244\times 530-170}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{n_1}{n_2}=1.347$

Dividing the first two equations we get

$1=\frac{n_1}{n_2}\frac{T_1}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow 1=1.347\frac{283.15}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow T_2=1.347\times 283.15= 381.52\ K$

∴Temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off is 381.25-273.15 = 108.37°C

lesya692 [45]

According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Remember, potential energy is calculated using height and weight. If the ball is on the ground, height is 0.

All of the following would be questions that could be scientifically investigated except:

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

"What is the best advice a parent can give a child?"

Explanation:

The other answers have one clear response. Ex: Orange popsicles melt faster than grape popsicles. That would be a fact.

But parental advice can vary, depending on your opinion. I may say that all parents must teach their children not to talk to strangers, while someone else may say that parents should advice their kids to treat everyone fairly. Nothing can be proven as the only appropriate response.

Hope this helps!
