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 …

…substance. These applications are especially important when using range-top cooking. 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.
