what happens when two objects at different temperatures touch? Name one place where it occurs on Earth.

1 answer:

3 0

When two objects at different temperatures touch, heat flows from the warmer one to the cooler one. This makes the warmer object cool down, and the cooler object warm up. Heat continues to flow until their temperatures have become equal.

This happens in my bed, when my wife's cold feet touch my warm ankles. In that situation, this basic law of thermodynamics often seems violated, as her cold feet totally suck ALL of the heat out of mine, yet they still seem to remain cold.

In this circuit the resistance R1 is 7 Ω and R2 is 3 Ω. If this combination of resistors were to be replaced by a single resisto

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Series combination:

Equivalent resistance =10Ω

Parallel combination:

Equivalent resistance $=\frac{21}{10} \Omega$

Explanation:

Resistance: Resistance is the ratio of voltage to the current.

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

R = resistance

I = current

V= potential difference(voltage)

There are two types of resistance combinations.

series combination
parallel combination.

Series combination: If the ending point of one resistance is connected to the starting point of other resistance that combination is known as series combination.

If R₁,R₂ and R₃ are connected in series combination.

Then equivalent resistance = R₁+R₂+R₃

Parallel combination: If the ending point and the starting point of the all resistance are the same points that combination is known as parallel combination.

If R₁,R₂ and R₃ are connected in parallel combination.

Then equivalent resistance $\frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

Here R₁=7Ω and R₂=3Ω

If R₁ and R₂ connected in series combination

Then equivalent resistance = (7+3) Ω

=10Ω

If R₁ and R₂ connected in parallel combination

Then equivalent resistance $=\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{7} +\frac{1}{3})} \Omega$

$=\frac{21}{10} \Omega$

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. $\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.$

b. $\rm 50.49\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).$

At time t = 3 seconds,

$\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.$

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

$\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.$

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

$\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt$

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

$\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.$

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
