Q3. (a) The student places 0.5 kg of potato into a pan of water. During cooking, the temperature of the potato increases from 20 °C to 100°C
The specific heat capacity of the potato is 3400 J/kg °C
80
Calculate the change in thermal energy of the potato. Use the equation:
change in thermal energy = mass * specific heat capacity * temperature change
m = 0.5kg
C = 34001
TA= 20° - 100°
° = 80°C
OʻS x 3400 x 80 - 136000J
136000
Change in thermal energy =
(b) Why is the energy supplied by the cooker greater than that calculated in part (a)?

Athin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of v = 7.5 m/s. the two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 n·s/m2. the part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2 m long and 0.5 m wide. if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion. what would your response be if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top surface (h1)? if the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, the force required to maintain the motion will be n. if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top (h1) surface, the force required to maintain the motion would be n.
