How is thermal energy transferred between two objects that are at different temperatures?

Answer:

when you bring two objects of different temperatures together, energy will always be transferred from the hotter to the cooler object. The objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.

A 10-foot ladder is leaning straight up against a wall when a person begins pulling the base of the ladder away from the wall at

docker41 [41]

Answer:

$y = 4.36$

Explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be L

$L = 10$

Also:

Let $x = distance\ from\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder$

Let $y = height\ of\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder$

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.

So, we have:

$L^2 = x^2 + y^2$ --- Pythagoras Theorem

When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:

$x = 9$

Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in $L^2 = x^2 + y^2$

$10^2 = 9^2 + y^2$

$100 = 81 + y^2$

Make $y^2$ the subject

$y^2 = 100 - 81$

$y^2 = 19$

Make y the subject

$y = \sqrt{19$

$y = 4.36$

<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>

The temperature of air changes from 0 to 10°C while its velocity changes from zero to a final velocity, and its elevation change

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Final velocity = 119.83 m/s

Final elevation = 731.9 m

Explanation:

We are told that temperature of air changes from 0 to 10°C

Thus;

Change in temperature; ΔT = 10 - 0 = 10°C

Also, its velocity changes from zero to a final velocity. Thus;

v1 = 0 m/s

v2 is unknown

Also, its elevation changes from zero to a final elevation.

So, z1 = 0 and z2 is unknown

Now, we want to find v2 and z2 when the internal, kinetic and potential energy are equal.

Thus Equating the formula for both kinetic and internal energy gives;

½m(v2² - v1²) = mc_v•ΔT

m will cancel out and v1 is zero to give;

v2² = 2c_v•ΔT

v2 = √(2c_v•ΔT)

Where c_v is specific heat of constant volume of air with a constant value of 718 J/Kg.K

Thus;

v2 = √(2 × 718 × 10)

v2 = √14360

v2 = 119.83 m/s

To find z2, we will equate potential energy formula to that of the internal energy.

Thus;

mg(z2 - z1) = mc_v•ΔT

m will cancel out and since z1 is zero, then we have;

z2 = (c_v•ΔT)/g

z2 = 718 × 10/9.81

z2 = 731.9 m

NOTE: The strength of an electromagnet is directly proportional to not only the current but the number of windings. Doubling the number of windings doubles the strength of the magnet.
