The second law of thermodynamics has a principle of heat energy travels from higher temperature to lower temperature. This happens when we put our feet into the water. The natural heat of our body will travel to the water, thus we feel cold as the heat on our body travels to the lower temperature of water.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics describes the flow of heat. Heat flows from an object at higher temperature to the body at colder temperature. It does not flow in the opposite direction.

When you put your feet into the water. The heat from our feet will get transferred to the water. That's why feet gets cold but not get hot when you put them into the water.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. The heat capacity of Object A is
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity A = 3 x heat capacity of B

initial temperature of A = 2 x initial temperature of B

TA = 2 TB

Let T be the final temperature of the system

Heat lost by A is equal to the heat gained by B

mass of A x specific heat of A x (TA - T) = mass of B x specific heat of B x ( T - TB)

heat capacity of A x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 x heat capacity of B x ( TA - T) = heat capacity of B x ( T - TB)

3 TA - 3 T = T - TB

6 TB + TB = 4 T

T = 1.75 TB

How does water get up to the atmosphere, and how does it get back down to earth surface
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Water gets up to the Earth's atmosphere by evaporating from a body of water, which is then they become water vapor. It returns back to the surface by returning back to its water state and falling back down (as rain). The water vapor turns into clouds (clouds are really just water droplets), and when it cannot hold anymore waters, it disperses all the water (by raining).

Find the horizontal component and the vertical component ​
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

v=3.66,h-3.66

Explanation:

vertical = 10sin60 - 10sin 30

horizontal =10cos60 + 10cos 30

v = 10×0.8660-10×0.5

h = 10×0.5 + 10 × 0.8660

v=8.660-5.0 = 3.66

h= 5.0-8.660 = -3.66

A sample of an ideal gas is in a tank of constant volume. The sample absorbs heat energy so that its temperature changes from 33
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2.

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy per molecule of a ideal gas is given by:

\bar{K}=\frac{3k_{B}T}{2}

Now, we know that \bar{K} = (1/2)m\bar{v}^{2}

Before the absorption we have:

(1/2)m\bar{v_{1}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{1}}{2} (1)

After the absorption,

(1/2)m\bar{v_{2}}^{2}=\frac{3k_{B}T_{2}}{2} (2)

If we want the ratio of v2/v1, let's divide the equation (2) by the equation (1)

\frac{v_{2}^{2}}{v_{1}^{2}}=\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{1340}{335}}

\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{4}

Therefore the ratio will be \frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=2

I hope it helps you!
