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 long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b. 11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm$

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm$

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm

What value should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron weighing 117.0 g, 19.43 g, and 6.1043 g?

AURORKA [14]

The value that should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron will be 0.143 Kg or 143 g

<h3>What is Mass and Weight ?</h3>

Mass is the quantity of matter. While weight is a gravitational pull on an object. Mass is measured in Kg while weight is measured in Newton.

What value should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron weighing 117.0 g, 19.43 g, and 6.1043 g?

The total mass will be the sum of the three masses.

The total mass = 117 + 19.43 + 6.1043

The total mass = 142.5343 g

Convert gram to kilogram by dividing the answer by 1000

The total mass = 142.5343/1000

The total mass = 0.1425343 Kg

Therefore, the value that should be reported for the total mass of three samples of iron will be 0.143 Kg or 143 g approximately
