<u>Answer:</u>
Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.
When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.
The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (
), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

In this case, we have
,
and
. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

Given parameters:
Displacement = 8km
Velocity = 3.8km/h
Unknown:
time = ?
Solution:
Velocity is displacement divided by time.
Velocity =
Displacement = velocity x time
Input the parameters:
8 = 3.8 x time
Time =
= 2.1s
The time taken is 2.1s
