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.

Answer:

v = 7671.57 m/s

T = 1.55 hours

Explanation:

mass of Earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of earth, R = 6400 km = 6.4 x 10^6 m

height, h = 400 km

Velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where, G be the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.657 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

$v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}{6800\times 10^{3}}}$

v = 7671.57 m/s

Let T b the period

$T=\frac{2\pi (R+h)}{v}$

$T=\frac{2\times 3.14(6800\times 1000)}{7671.57}$

T = 5566.53 second

T = 1.55 hours

A 10.0 L tank contains 0.329 kg of helium at 28.0 ∘C. The molar mass of helium is 4.00 g/mol . Part A How many moles of helium a

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

82.25 moles of He

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume (V) = 10 L

Mass of He = 0.329 Kg

Temperature (T) = 28.0 °C

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

Mole of He =?

Next, we shall convert 0.329 Kg of He to g. This can be obtained as follow:

1 Kg = 1000 g

Therefore,

0.329 Kg = 0.329 Kg × 1000 g / 1 Kg

0.329 Kg = 329 g

Thus, 0.329 Kg is equivalent to 329 g.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of He in the tank. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mass of He = 329 g

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

Mole of He =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of He = 329 / 4

Mole of He = 82.25 moles

Therefore, there are 82.25 moles of He in the tank.

True or false mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:True

Explanation: The mechanical waves need a medium through which to transport energy because the perturbation travels inside of the medium so it needs molecules that connect elastically the displacement of the wave. For example the sound mainly uses the air molecules to transport the energy also the sound can be traveled in solid materials like metal rods.
