Question

Workers on a movie set are stacking fake glass to use in a scene. The diagram above shows the pieces of fake glass before they touch each other. Use the information in the diagram to answer the question.
Compare the temperatures of the four pieces of fake glass before they touch. Which pieces are warmer, which pieces are cooler, and are any pieces the same temperature as each other? After the top pieces and bottom pieces have been touching for a while, will the two bottom pieces be the same temperature or different temperatures? Explain how their temperatures will compare, and why.

Answer 1

Answer:

I did the same thing I hope this helps you and sorry if its incorrect :)

When observing the photo above, I see that in both scenes, the bottom glass has 8 as their molecule energy and the top has 16 as their molecule energy. Since the bottom glass has more molecules in scene 2, that means they have more total energy. However, in scene 1, the top glass has more total energy. In scene one, the top is warmer and the bottom is cooler. In scene 2, the bottom glass is warmer than the top. No pieces are at the same temperature. When they have been touching for a while, the pieces will be at the same temperature since they will eventually reach equilibrium. The temperature will compare because at the start, they were different temperatures. However, after they will have the same temperature.
