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.

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,

Paraphin [41]

Answer: 42.49 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1) Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81 $m/s^{2}$ / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 $m/s^{2}$

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 $m/s^{2}$ to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

Light enters water from air at an angle of 25° with the normal, Θ1. If water has an index of refraction of 1.33, determine Θ2.

vladimir1956 [14]

By Snell's law:

η = sini / sinr. i = 25, η = 1.33

1.33 = sin25° / sinr

sinr = sin25° / 1.33 = 0.4226/1.33 = 0.3177 Use a calculator.

r = sin⁻¹(0.3177)

r ≈ 18.52°

Option A.

God's grace.

An elevator (mass 4100 kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.0400g. what is the maximum force the motor sh

melomori [17]

Answer:

The maximum force on the supporting cable is 80688 N.

The minimum force on the supporting cable is -164 N.

Explanation:

For maximum force movement of elevator is in upward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a is acceleration of elevator

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the maximum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 0.04g + 9.8)

T = 80688 N

This is the maximum force on the supporting cable.

For minimum force movement of elevator is in downward direction. Thus, equation of motion is given by,

ma = T - mg

where m is the mass of elevator

a= -0.04g is acceleration of elevator because elevator is moving downward

g is acceleration due to gravity

T is the minimum tension in the supporting cable

T = ma + mg

T = m (a + g)

T = 4100 ( 9.8 - 0.04g)

T = -164 N

This is the minimum force on the supporting cable.

In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the charge? into the screen out of the screen up down

Harrizon [31]

The direction in which the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards.

<h3>What is Magnetic force?</h3>

This is the attraction and repulsion which usually occurs during the motion of electrically charged particles.

In the magnetic field, the charge is moving to the left. Therefore the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards which is gotten via right hand rule.
