Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

Compare lunar and solar eclipses and answer the following questions:
xeze [42]
So lunar eclips earth between sun and moon
Solar eclips moon between sun and earth.
About the 3th.. im not sure, it depends on if you meen a total solar eclips or not... i think total is more rare then a lunar eclipse..

Consider three planets. All have the same mass as Earth, but with different radii (from largest to smallest: Planet 1, 2, 3). Fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

How does lithium react with cold water?
Tomtit [17]
Lithium metals reacts slowly with water to form a colourless solution of lithiums hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic, but the reaction is slower than that of sodium (immediately below lithium in the periodic table)

If the final speed of an object as is strikes the ground is 77 m/s and it was in the air for 6.5 seconds. What was the initial d
azamat

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 13.2 m/s

Explanation:

final speed (fs) = 77 m/s

t = 6.5 s

gravity (g) = 9.81 m/s2

initial speed (is) = ?

Formula

fs = is + gt     from this equation we clear "is" = fs - gt

Substitution                         is = 77 - (9,81)(6.5)

Process                               is = 77 - 63.8

                                            is = 13.2 m/s
