We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
<span>NO.
Air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object differently when the mass is greater because the mass of an object does not in any way affect the speed of falling due to gravity, and air resistance depends only on the speed of the object and its surface area.</span>
Answer:
1.70 J
Explanation:
The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.
This is given by
and 
are the initial and final velocities.
With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,
The negative sign appears because energy is lost.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of tree stump is 
mass bullet is 
velocity of bullet is 
Conserving momentum for bullet and tree stump
Initial Momentum 
Suppose 
is the velocity of the system
Final Momentum 
Initial momentum =Final Momentum
Answer:
false, because a phase change occurs physical changes when matter changes its energy state.
