Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?

Physics

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

sergejj [24]

Here mass of the iron pan is given as 1 kg

now let say its specific heat capacity is given as "s"

also its temperature rise is given from 20 degree C to 250 degree C

so heat required to change its temperature will be given as

Q = ms \Delta T

Q = 1*s*(250 - 20)

Q = 1*s*230

now if we give same amount of heat to another pan of greater specific heat

so let say the specific heat of another pan is s'

now the increase in temperature of another pan will be given as

Q = ms'\Delta T

1*s*230 = 1* s' * \Delta T

now we have

\Delta T = (\frac{s}{s'})*230

now as we know that s' is more than s so the ratio of s and s' will be less than 1

And hence here we can say that change in temperature of second pan will be less than 230 degree C which shows that final temperature of second pan will reach to lower temperature

So correct answer is

<u>A) The second pan would reach a lower temperature.</u>

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Working...

length of wire L = 1.5 m

current I = 7 A

potential difference V = 68 Volt

According to Ohm's Law

V = IR

R = V/I

R = 68/7

R = 9.7 Ω
