Two glasses of water have the same thermal energy so do they have to have the same temperature

Physics

Before answering this question first we have to understand temperature and thermal energy.

Thermal energy of a substance is defined as the sum total of kinetic ,potential etc. energy  of the substance. When two bodies come in contact with each other,the part of the thermal energy is transferred from hotter body to the cooler one which is called heat.

Temperature is the physical quantity which gives the direction of heat flow and determines whether two thermodynamic systems are in thermal equilibrium or not. Temperature of a thermodynamic system is a measure of average kinetic energy of that system.

If two systems have same average kinetic energy,then two systems must have same temperature.The temperature of a substance increases or decreases due to the change in average kinetic energy.

As per the question the two glasses have same thermal energy.It is told that the two glasses must have same temperature which is wrong.It is because thermal energy does not mean the average kinetic energy of the glass. Kinetic energy is a part of thermal energy.

Hence two glasses may be at different temperature depending on their average kinetic energy.

A ball has a mass of 2 kg and is thrown with a force of 8 Newtons for .35 seconds. What is the ball's change in
Anna [14]

Answer:

1.4s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 2kg

Force  = 8N

Time  = 0.35s

Unknown:

Change in velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression obtained from Newton's second law of motion which is shown below:

      Ft  = m(v  - u)

 So;

         Ft  = m Δv

F is the force

t is the time

m is the mass

Δv is the change in velocity

             8 x 0.35  = 2 x Δv

                  Δv  = 1.4s

How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of aluminum from 10°C to 110°C, if the specific heat of al
dusya [7]

Answer:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is 4750 J

Explanation:

As we know that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = 50 g

\Delta T = 110 - 10

\Delta T = 100 ^oC

so we have

Q = 50(0.95)(100)

Q = 4750 J

Find the velocity. 10 points. Will give brainliest!
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

6.060606...

Explanation:

To figure out velocity, you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance, then you add your direction to it. So the distance would be 1000m and the time would be 2 minutes and 45 seconds and if you convert the minutes into fractions you would get 165 seconds than you would divide 1000m by 165 seconds and you would get 6.060606... seconds as her average velocity
