When is thermal equilibrium achieved between two objects?

2 answers:

Thermal equilibrium is when a hot and cold object (could also be air) come in contact with each other and over time become the same temperature.
thermal equilibrium is reached when both objects are the same temperature.

Answer:

Thermal equilibrium is achieved when two identical objects have the same temperature after contacting and exchanging energy.

Explanation:

By bringing two bodies into contact at a different temperature, the one with the highest temperature yields part of its energy to the one with the lowest temperature until its temperatures equalize. This is what we call "thermal equilibrium". In other words, thermal equilibrium is the state in which the temperatures of two bodies that initially had different temperatures are equalized. When the temperatures equalize, the heat flow is suspended, and this is how the equilibrium situation is reached.

Thermal equilibrium is achieved when two identical objects have the same temperature after contacting and exchanging energy.

Trace the path of a ray emitted from the tip of the object toward the focal point of the mirror and then the reflected ray that

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: find the attached files for the answer

Explanation:

The reflected ray appears to have originated from the focal point. We should actually draw a vector from the focal point through the point where the incident ray hits the mirror but we shorten the vector so that its starting point is on the mirror, without changing its angle.

Could you please explain to me Newton's second law of motion? Please I don't get it :/

MissTica

Answer:

Newton's second law states that when a body of mass m is accelerated with force f

then F=ma

this means acceleration of an object depends on both force with which it is moving as well as its mass

The volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its

Leni [432]

Answer: Charles's law

Explanation:

Charles's law is one of the gas laws, and it explains the effect of temperature changes on the volume of a given mass of gas at a constant pressure. Usually, the volume of a gas decreases as the temperature decreases and increases as the temperature also increases.

Mathematically, Charles's law can be expressed as:

V ∝ T

V = kT or (V/T) = k

where v is volume, T is temperature in Kelvin, and a k is a constant.

Envision holding the end of a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other. When you let go, you can see the oscillations

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.

Explanation:

When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.

By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.

The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.

F= -kx, where,

F= restoring force

x= displacement or deformation

k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.

Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.
