Explanation:
As it is given that hot pan of copper is dropped into a tub of hot water and the temperature of water rises. This means that heat from the pan has been released and this heat is gained by water.
As a result, temperature of copper pan has decreased and this decrease will continue till the time temperature of both copper pan and water will reach the same temperature.
As thermal energy is defined as the energy in which when two objects come in physical contact with each other then no exchange of heat energy will take place.
Thus, we can conclude that when temperature of both copper pan and water will be equal then it means that both of them has reached thermal equilibrium.
There's supposed to be a blank in the statement, where the answer is supposed to be inserted.
The question is supposed to say: "A wave is a disturbance that carries ______ from one place to another through matter or space".
To answer the question, write the word "<em>energy</em>" in the blank.
Explanation:
It is based upon the fact that " The light travels faster then sound." As the speed of light is faster then the speed of sound, light travels 300,000 km per second and sound travels 1192 km per hour. That is why we observe the lightening first and hear the the sound of thunder later.
You can do this experiment by yourself. Once you see the lightening start counting the seconds until you hear the sound of thunder.Then divide the seconds by 5, you will find out how many miles away the lightening strike was.
