A thermally isolated system consists of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper. The aluminum and the copper are in t

hermal contact. The specific heat of aluminum is more than double that of copper. Which object experiences the greater amount of heat transfer during the time it takes the system to reach thermal equilibrium?
a) The aluminum experiences the greater magnitude of heat transfer.
b) The copper experiences the greater magnitude of heat transfer.
c) Both experience the same magnitude of heat transfer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Make up a question.

The only change is going to be c.

Suppose they aluminum starts our higher at 50oC

Suppose the copper starts out at 20oC

Suppose the mass of both are 25 grams.

Aluminum

m*2c * deltat

  • deltat = 50 - x
  • c = 2*c
  • m = 25

Copper

m*c*deltat

deltat = x - 20

m = 25

c = c

Now since the amount of heat is the same (this starts out on a heated slab of something).

m*2c * (50 - x) = m * c * x - 20  The m and the c are the same. Cancel them out.

2 * (50 - x) = (x - 20)    Remove the brackets.

100 - 2x = x - 20          Add 20 to both sides.

120 - 2x = x                  Add 2x to both sides.

120 = 3x                       Divide by 3

x = 40

What does this tell you?

It tells you that the temperature of the aluminum is only going to drop 10 degrees

The copper is going to gain 40 - 20 = 20  degrees.

The heat transfer is actually the same. It doesn't take as much heat to heat copper as it does aluminum. That's shown by the difference in how the temperature changes. One looses 10 degrees. The other gains 20. The transfer is the same because of the way the "c" operates.

Imagine that Kevin can instantly transport himself between Planet X and Planet Y. Which statement could be said about Kevin in t
Over [174]
What are the choices ? 

Without some directed choices, I'm, free to make up any
reasonable statement that could be said about Kevin in this
situation.  A few of them might be . . .

-- Kevin will have no trouble getting back in time for dinner.

-- Kevin will have no time to enjoy the scenery along the way.

-- Some simple Physics shows us that Kevin is out of his mind.
He can't really do that.

           -- Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .

If time to cover the distance is zero, then speed is huge (infinite).

           -- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)² .

If speed is huge (infinite), then kinetic energy is huge squared (even more).
There is not enough energy in the galaxy to push Kevin to that kind of speed.

         -- Mass = (Kevin's rest-mass) / √(1 - v²/c²)

-- As soon as Kevin reaches light-speed, his mass becomes infinite.
-- It takes an infinite amount of energy to push him any faster.
-- If he succeeds somehow, his mass becomes imaginary.
-- At that point, he might as well turn around and go home ...
     if he ever reached Planet-Y, nobody could see him anyway.

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu
Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check  on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.
