Answer:
Total energy is constant
Explanation:
The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).
This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.
This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.
In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.
However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

Answer:
Explanation:
a )
We shall apply the concept of impulse .
Impulse = force x time = change in momentum
= 5 x 4 = 2 ( V - 3 ) , where V is final velocity of the object
20 = 2V - 6
V = 13 m /s
b )
Impulse applied = - 7 x 4 = - 28 kg m/s ( negative as direction of force is opposite motion )
If v be the final velocity
2 x 3 - 28 = 2 v ( initial momentum - change in momentum = final momentum )
- 22 = 2v
v = - 11 m /s
object will move with 11 m /s in opposite direction .
