Behind the use of range-top cooking devices there are many concepts that physics can explain. For example, heat is a major concept in this type of cooking. Heat is the amount of energy that is transferred from one body to another because of a difference in temperature. When heating an object, there is a raise in the internal energy, or thermal energy, of that object. This can be achieved by transferring energy from an object …showed first 75 words of 696 total…

Say you are boiling water; you must know that the heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 x 106 so that you can use enough heat that is required to boil the amount of water that you have. These important concepts that are involved in range-top cooking are all things that are explained using physics. This proves how important physics really is in this technological, everyday device.
