The equilibrium temperature of the two masses will be somewhere in between the initial temperatures of the masses. This is because heat will flow from the hotter mass to the colder mass until they reach thermal equilibrium. It seems reasonable because this is based on the principle of conservation of energy and the second law of thermodynamics.

Can temperature affect solidity?

Yes, temperature can affect the solidity of a substance. When temperature increases, most solids will expand and become less solid, potentially melting into a liquid state. Conversely, when temperature decreases, solids tend to contract and become more rigid.


Which metal feel coldest at same room temperature?

Metals seem cooler to the touch because our perception of the temperature is governed by both the actual temperature, as well as the thermal conductivity of the metal. And if the metal also has a high thermal capacity, this feature will delay the metal from approaching the real temperature.The temperature we are sensing is of course how close to body temperature the metal is.As to which metal, the combination of thermal conductivity and thermal capacity will feel coldest. Probably silver or copper.


What is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object called?

The movement of heat from a warmer object to a cooler one is called heat transfer. It may seem odd, but that is the correct term. We are opening the book on thermodynamics, and what is arguably the most fundamental idea in this subject area is this: heat energy moves from where it's hot to where it's not. There are different methods by which heat energy moves, like conduction and convection. And we talk about differential temperature, thermal gradients and black body radiation.


Which part of the particle model seem reasonable to you which part do you find hard to accept for grade 7 science focus?

I don't think the particle model is hard to accept for grade 7 students because I was one last year. I'm not sure if you mean it's hard to accept because of religion or hard to accept because it is so counter intuitive?


Why do things seem louder at night?

Things may seem louder at night because there is less ambient noise to mask the sounds, making them more noticeable and prominent.

How do you write 32000mL by placing a decimal to make it a reasonable answer?

32000 mL is a perfectly reasonable answer. An answer obtained by converting it to litres instead of mL may seem reasonable in terms of a shorter answer but it means a loss of precision.


What is the mathematical expression for the third law of thermodynamics?

The third law could be expressed as: If T1 = T2 and T2 = T3, then T1 = T3. Where T1 is the temperature of system (or object) 1. T2 is the temperature of system (or object) 2. T3 is the temperature of system (or object) 3. That may seem trivial from an algebraic standpoint but it has profound implications in thermodynamics because it helps define the meaning of temperature and thermal equilibrium.
