Answer:

Anna is correct.

Explanation:

Anna is right as a satellite is in free fall because it keeps falling toward Earth, meaning that gravity is the only force acting on it. Tom is incorrect because an object does not have to accelerate at a certain speed to be considered to be in free fall. As long as gravity is the only force acting upon the object, it is considered to be in free fall.

Rosa pours a cup of boiling water into a pot of room-temperature water. According to the second law of thermodynamics, what will
11111nata11111 [884]

<u>Thermal energy</u><u> from the room-temperature water will continuously flow to the boiling water.</u>

  • The second law states, in a straightforward manner, that heat cannot naturally go "uphill."
  • When a pan of boiling water and a pan of ice are in touch, the hot water cools and the ice melts and warms up.

<h3>THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS</h3>
  • Adiabatic Process - is a procedure that is carried out without the system's heat content changing.
  • Water is heated to a temperature of 1000C during the boiling process, making it an isothermal process. As steam, the excess heat leaves the system.
