Why is it unwise to stir a pot of soup with a metal spoon?

Answer:

To prevent the soup from cooling soon and prevent our hands from high temperature of the spoon by the contact of soup.

Explanation:

  • It is unwise to stir a pot of soup with a metal spoon because the metal has a much lower specific heat capacity than that of water i.e. it requires lesser heat energy to raise its temperature.
  • Soup being a blend of edible fats and vegetables forms a layer of fat and starch on the surface preventing much of the heat from escaping to the environment and thus delaying the process of loosing the heat to the ambiance.
  • When a spoon is put into soup it becomes an accessible good conductor path for the heat to escape easily as a result it also increases the temperature of spoon significantly due to its low specific heat capacity.

Answer:

Explanation:

As we stir the pot of soup by a metal spoon which is a conductor, it conducts the heat and starts heating after some time the temperature of the spoon rises and we are not able to hold the spoon and we get burns.

Simora [160]
The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

Fred wants to summarize mitosis in the cell cycle. Which statement describes mitosis?
salantis [7]
The statement that most accurately describes mitosis simply is <span>that mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself</span>. This is the most basic textbook definition, that is summary, of what the mitosis is.

A ball with a mass of 0.5 kilograms is lifted to a height of 2.0 meters and dropped. It bounces back to a height of 1.8 meters.
Degger [83]
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

To compute for the change in potential energy, the equation would be:

delta PE =  mg*delta h
delta PE = 0.5*9.81*(2-1.8)
delta Pe = 0.98 J

The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Answer:

36.4276\ m/s^2

Explanation:

m = Mass of stick

L = Length of stick = 1 m

h = Center of mass of stick = \dfrac{1}{2}=0.5\ m

g = Acceleration due to gravity

T = Time period = 0.85 s

Time period is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{mgh}}

Moment of inertia is given by

I=m\dfrac{L^2}{3}

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m\dfrac{L^2}{3}}{mgh}}\\\Rightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{L^2}{3gh}}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2L^2}{3hT^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 1^2}{3\times 0.5\times 0.85^2}\\\Rightarrow g=36.4276\ m/s^2

The acceleration of gravity on this planet is 36.4276\ m/s^2

an input force of 50 Newtons is applied through a distance of 10 meters to machine with mechanical advantage of 3. If the work o
gladu [14]
The output of the machine is

                                      (output work) =  (output force) x (distance)

                                        450 N-m      =  (output force) x (3 meters)

Divide each side
by  3 meters:                Output force = (450 N-m) / (3 m)

                                                           =    150 newtons .

With all the information given about the output work, we don't need
to know anything about the input work, or even the fact that we're
dealing with a machine.

It's comforting, though, to look back and notice that the output work
(450 N-m) is not more than the input work (500 N-m).  So everything
is nice and hunky-dory.
___________________________________

Well, my goodness !
I didn't even need to go through all of that.

Given:

-- The input force to the machine is 50 newtons.

-- The mechanical advantage of the machine is 3 .

That right there tells us that

-- The output force of the machine is 150 newtons.

We don't need any of the other given information.
