Answer to Question #259600 in Quantum Mechanics for Mst. Ohida Khatun

Question

Miss Y agreed to keep a request from her friend to cook rice in an aluminium pot. A metal cover was used on the top of the aluminium pot during cooking, but after a short-while the metal cover was fallen down. They involved in a debate to explain it using a theorem of physics why the metal cover has been fallen down from the top of the aluminium pot. Miss Y said that it was due to produced pressure but her friend agreed on it to some extent and also asked about the conversion of energy, demanding to show the expression for the theorem. Could please help Miss Y?

Answer 1

Conversion of energy: the energy of the compressed air under the cover gave the kinetic energy to the cover:

$$E_p=KE.$$
