Why cooking pots are provided with wooden or plastic handles

1 answer:

Lelechka [254]3 years ago

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 horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/ $s^{2}$

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}$

$2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0$

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

$v=u+at$

$v=3+1.945*5$

$v=3+9.72$

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.

A wall, acted upon by a force of 20 N, does not move. The work done on the wall in this process is

prisoha [69]

0J

Explanation:

A wall that is acted upon by a force of 20N does not move suggests that no work has been done on the wall.

Work done is the force applied to move in the direction of the applied force.

Work done = force x distance.

Since the distance is 0, the work done on the body too is zero.

Work is only done when forces moves a body through a given distance.

A baseball pitcher throws a baseball horizontally at a linear speed of 49.4 m/s. Before being caught, the baseball travels a hor

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$v = 3.61 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that ball travels horizontal distance of 24.7 m with uniform speed 49.4 m/s

so we will have

$t = \frac{x}{v_x}$

$t = \frac{24.7}{49.4}$

$t = 0.5 s$

now in the same time ball is turned by angle

$\theta = 52.7 rad$

now we know that

$\theta = \omega t$

$52.7 = \omega (0.5)$

$\omega = 105.4 rad/s$

now the tangential speed of a point at equator is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 0.0343(105.4)$

$v = 3.61 m/s$
