Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the  object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the  object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can
Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

 mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.

How does the atmosphere’s interaction with different wavelengths of light help to protect life on earth?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere filters most of the harmful radiations of shorter wavelength. It actually absorbs the hazardous radiations like ultraviolet, gamma rays, x- rays and most of all those having shorter wavelength then the visible light. That's how the earth's atmosphere protects life on earth. But unfortunately, climate change and global warming is causing the depletion of ozone layer which is causing skin related diseases and harming not only the human life but also the plants and animals.
