How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?

Physics

Lady bird [3.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.

a concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75. what is the focal length?
Lilit [14]

The focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm

The height of an image to the height of an object is the ratio that is used to determine a lens' magnification. Additionally, it is provided in terms of object and image distance. It is equivalent to the object distance to image distance ratio.

Given  concave lens creates a virtual image at -47.0 cm and a magnification of +1.75.

We have to find focal length

The focal length can be found out by following way:

Magnification = m = +1.75

m = hi/h

hi = -47 cm

1.75 = -47/h

h = -26.85 cm

So the focal length of given concave lens will be -26.85 cm

A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positi
asambeis [7]

Answer:

140m east

Explanation:

If East is positive then lets rephrase the problem into integers

A truck moves +70 m, then moves -120m, and finally moves +90m.

So totally Displacement = +70-120+90= +140m

Since east is positive, the trucks resultant displacement is 140 m east of origin

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?
SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

R=\frac{V}{I}

Substitute the values in the above expression as

\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
