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.

a plane is flying due east in still air at 395 km/h. suddenly, the plane is hit by wind blowing at 55km/h toward the west. what

Sphinxa [80]

Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.

Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.

After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east.

By how much does the gravitational potential energy of a 54-kg pole vaulter change if her center of mass rises about 4.0 m durin

kodGreya [7K]

the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.

a 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v

shutvik [7]

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT = 2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work = PVln(v₂/v₁) v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L,

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 19* $e^{0.3098}$

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L Option b.
