Why do things become hot or cold? Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy

Physics
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

Consider three planets. All have the same mass as Earth, but with different radii (from largest to smallest: Planet 1, 2, 3). Fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of the three planet is same

radius of the planets are

R₁ > R₂ > R₃

expression of escape velocity

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

R is the radius of the planet

from the above expression we can clearly conclude that the escape velocity is inversely proportional to the radius of the Planet.

radius of planet increases escape velocity decreases.

Hence planet 3 has the smallest radius so the escape velocity of the third planet will be maximum.

The correct answer is option C

1. Do you think that hand signals are important in officiating games? why?​
alex41 [277]

Yeah, hand signals are important in officiating games. The hand signals are given by the referee who first signals the fault and then indicates which team has won the point. A point is indicated by one finger at the side of the court to indicate the winner of the rally.

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ
V125BC [204]

Answer:

55.8 m/s

Explanation:

f = Actual frequency of sound emitted by car

f' = frequency observed when the car moves = (0.86)f

V = Speed of sound = 343 m/s

v = Speed of car

Frequency observed is given as

f' = \frac{Vf}{V+v}

(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\(0.86) = \frac{(343)}{343 + v}\\294.98 + (0.86) v = 343 \\v = 55.8 ms^{-1}

The labeled images each represent the wave patterns found in the electromagnetic wave spectrum. which of these images are correc
Phantasy [73]
Energy E of EM radiation is given by the equation E=hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is frequency. It means energy E and frequency f are proportional so as we increase the frequency, energy also increases. Also, the relationship between the wavelength and frequency is c=λ*f where λ is the wavelength and f is frequency and c is the speed of light. This tells us the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as we increase the frequency the wavelength is getting smaller. So as we go from left to right the frequency increases, energy also increases and the wavelength is decreasing. Or, on the left side we should have low frequency, low radiant energy, and long wavelength. On the right side we should have high frequency, high radiant energy and low wavelength. That is the third graph.
