What happen when two objects at different temperatures touch?
The object with the lower average temperature will take heat from the other object until both objects have the same temperature.
What occurs if two objects of different temperatures touch?
If the contact is good, then energy (heat) will pass from the object at a higher temperature to the one at a lower temperature until the temperatures of the two bodies are equal. This precludes cases such as a burning match stick touching a flammable object and such
When you mix two liquids with different temperatures what will happen?
When two liquids with different temperatures are mixed, heat will transfer from the hotter liquid to the cooler one until they reach thermal equilibrium. The temperature of the combined liquid will eventually become an average of the initial temperatures.
Which planet experiences the smallest range of temperatures?
earth has the smallest range of temperatures
Which occurs if two object at different temperatures are in contact?
conduction occurs...
How is conduction heat transferred between hot and cold objects?
Heat is transferred between hot and cold objects through direct contact. When objects are in contact, the faster-moving particles in the hot object collide with the slower-moving particles in the cold object, transferring thermal energy until both objects reach thermal equilibrium. This process continues until the temperature of both objects is equalized.
What happens if two objects at different temperatires are touching?
Heat will flow from the hotter object to the colder one until they reach thermal equilibrium, where they both have the same temperature. This transfer of heat will continue until a balance is reached between the two objects.
Why do particles have different amount of energy?
Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.
How will heat move when two areas are of different temperatures?
Heat will will move from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature
Why do particles have different amounts of kinetic energy?
Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.
How thermal energy travel?
Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
How can an object produce a charge in another object even when not touching?
Electrostatic induction allows an object to produce a charge in another object without touching.
