Cold water at a temperature of 5°C is mixed with hot water at 75°C. Then what will be the equilibrium temperature attained by the system? (1) 30 °C(2) 40 °C(3) 50°C(4) 70 °C

The particles of an ice cube at 0°c (represented by the blue circles) come in contact with the particles of juan’s hand at 37°c (represented by the orange circles). which diagram correctly represents the temperature of the two substances and the direction of heat flow?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Ahypothesis is? close agreement by competent observers of observations of the same phenomena. a guess that has been tested over and over again and always found to be true. an educated guess that has yet to be proven by experiment. the long side of a right triangle. a synthesis of a large collection of information that includes guesses.
