Why cooking pots are provided with wooden or plastic handles

Physics
1 answer:
Lelechka [254]3 years ago
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 deputy sheriff rides a horse while directing traffic, what energy is being used?
Travka [436]

Answer:

Kinetic Energy

Explanation:

In relation to the question, as the sheriff rides a horse, the sheriff is in motion and a body in motion is said top possess kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is that energy of the body that it gains due to the motion or speed of the body which it gains and maintains.

In other words, we can say that the amount of work needed to accelerate an object from its position of rest and set it into motion at some certain velocity.

Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of 9.8 m/s2. An arrow is shot with a velocity of 11.76 m/s straight down from
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

3.8 secs

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Initial velocity, u = 11.76 m/s

Final velocity, v = 49 m/s

Using one of Newton's equations of linear motion, we have that:

v = u + gt

where t = time of flight of arrow

The sign is positive because the arrow is moving downward, in the same direction as gravitational force.

Therefore:

49 = 11.76 + 9.8*t\\\\\\\49 - 11.76 = 9.8t\\\\=> 9.8t = 37.24\\\\\\t = \frac{37.24}{9.8} \\\\\\t = 3.8 secs

The arrow was in flight for 3.8 secs
