How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?

Physics
1 answer:
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.

How much does the gravitational force of attraction change between two asteroids if the two asteroids drift three times closer t
Katen [24]

Answer:

Increase 9 times

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}

where G =6.67408 \times 10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2 is the gravitational constant. M_1, M_2 is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.

Since the force is inversely proportional to the distance squared, if it is reduced by 3 times, the gravitational force between them would increase by 3^2 = 9 times

Compare and contrast the inner and outer planets. (Must be in complete sentences) (At least 5 sentences).
Karolina [17]

To contrast inner and outer planets we will start with the climate of the planets and then move on to there lighting. To start the planets closet to the sun, mercury, venus, earth and mars, are all hot compared to the further one, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune. This distance also makes the farthe away planets darker than the ones closer. Now to compare all the planets vary from either gass or solid, rocky or icy. All of them spin around the sun and all have objects spinning around them, moons.

Name the four fundamental fores at work inside an atom. Tell what each one does.​
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Four fundamental forces are gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak.

Explanation:

The gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, which produce significant long-range forces whose effects can be seen directly in everyday life and the strong and weak interactions, which produce forces at minuscule, subatomic distances and govern nuclear interactions.
