When can thermal energy in a system move from lower to higher temperatures?

Physics
1 answer:
Fed [463]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

When the object in creases or decreases in temperature.

Explanation:

Heat flow moves energy from a higher temperature to a lower temperature. The bigger the difference in temperature between two objects, the faster heat flows between them. When temperatures are the same there is no change in energy due to heat flow. Radiation and Conduction are the two methods of heat transfer..

Explain what white light is and what it’s composed of.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.

I attached you I picture where you can see this process

Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.

An engine takes in 200 J of heat, expels 40 J of heat, and does 160 J of work. What is the efficiency of the engine?
Reil [10]
The answer would be C. 80%
Put 160 over 200 and find the GCF
160/200÷40=4/5=80%

Mars has twice the mass of Mercury and is 4 times further away from the Sun. Calculate theratio of the gravitational force from
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2   force of Sun on Mars

F(Merc) = G m M / R^2    force of force of Sun on Mercury

R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury

F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

Problems with solar energy include _____.
german
First choice:  the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the Sun's energy

Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low.  But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.

Second choice:  the inability of current technology to store
captured solar energy

No.  We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts.  Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.

Third choice:  inconsistencies in the availability of the resource

I think this is it.  If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.

Fourth choice:  lack of demand for solar energy

If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
