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.

Far from any other masses, two masses, m1 and m2, are interacting gravitationally. The value for the mass of m1 suddenly doubles
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>It also doubles The gravitational force between two masses is expressed as: F = G*m1*m2/r^2 where F = Force between the two masses m1 = Mass of object 1 m2 = Mass of object 2 r = distance between centers of object 1 and object 2 G = Gravitational constant The exact values of G, m1, m2, and r don't matter since all except for m1 is held constant. And when m1 suddenly doubles, the force attracting the two object to each other also doubles.</span>

A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 75.0 V across the length of a Nichrome wire that has a 3.83 ×
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Explanation:

power of a heating element = V² / R where V is voltage and R is resistance

putting in the values

5200 = 75² / R

R = 1.082 ohm

Formula for resistance

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

1.082 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 8.29 m

b )

power of a heating element = V² / R , R is new resistance

5200 = 120² / R

R = 2.77 ohm

R = ρ L / S , ρ is resistivity , L is length and S is cross sectional area

2.77 = 5 x 10⁻⁷ x L / (3.83 x 10⁻⁶)

L = 21.22 m

Which of the following is NOT a factor that controls temperature?
meriva

The answer for the above statement is:

a. longitude

Explanation:

Longitude is that the measure of however way a definite place is found a way west and east from the longitude. Great circle determines the geographical zone of a selected location. Whereas latitude affects the temperature of the situation, longitude doesn't do a lot to have an effect on the temperature.
