7. Why are cooking pans made of aluminum? {Explain using the specific heat value of

1 answer:

6 0

Cooking utensils, such as pots, pans and menu trays, are often made from aluminium because it is lightweight and conducts heat well, making it energy-efficient for heating and cooling. These properties also make it a preferred material for packaging.

Two students have fitted their scooters with the same engine. Student A and his

sammy [17]

The force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.

<h3>Force applied by each student</h3>

The force exerted by each student is calculated from Newton's second law of motion.

F = ma

where;

m is mass
a is acceleration

F(A) = 127.5 x 2.4

F(A) = 306 N

F(B) = 120 x 1.7

F(B) = 204 N

Thus, the force exerted by student A with his scooter is 306 N and that of student B is 204 N.

What is the most likely reason that Mendeleev placed tellurium before iodine?

Ilya [14]

Mendeleev watched that tellurium has compound properties like different components in its gathering, and he didn't realize that neutrons cause the more noteworthy nuclear mass. Mendeleev expressed that he anticipated that tellurium would have a lower nuclear mass than iodine.

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

i). Inverted

ii). Magnification of the image = -0.5

iii). Real

Explanation:

As shown in the ray diagram attached,

An object AB has been placed in front of converging lens (convex lens) at u = 30 cm.

F (Focus) of the lens is at 10 cm. So F = 10 cm

By analyzing the ray diagram we can measure the distance of the image on the other side of the lens (By counting the small blocks of the graph)

V = 15 cm

Characteristics of the image is:

i) Inverted

ii) Magnification of the image = $-\frac{v}{u}=-\frac{15}{30}$

= -0.5

ii) Real

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :

Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

$x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

$V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}$

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

$K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2$

$w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m$

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

$P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J$

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
