Answer to Problem 19.1QQ

Choice (c), Energy travels from the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature.

Explanation of Solution

The situation in which there is no exchange of energy between the two objects in thermal equilibrium by heat or electromagnetic radiation is known as thermal equilibrium.

The property that describes the energy transfer between two objects when they are in thermalcontact is the temperature of the objects. Two objects are not said to be in thermal equilibrium if they have different temperature and there will be a transfer of energy between them if they are placed in thermal contact.

Conclusion:

Since, it is only the temperature (not size, mass, density etc) that determines whether the energy will transfer from one object to other or not. Thus, option (c) is correct.

The energy transfer of the object depends on the temperature difference between two objects not on the size of the objects. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

The energy transfer of the object depends on the temperature difference between two objects not on the mass of the objects. Thus, option (b) is incorrect.

Two objects, with different sizes, masses, and temperatures, are placed in thermal contact. In which direction does the energy travel? (a) Energy travels from the larger object to the smaller object. (b) Energy travels from the object with more mass to the one with less mass. (c) Energy travels from the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature.
Two objects with different sizes, masses, and temperatures are placed in thermal contact. Choose the best answer: Energy travels (a) from the larger object to the smaller object (b) from the object with more mass to the one with less mass (c) from the object at higher temperature to the object at lower temperature.
What is the role of “loose” electrons in heat conductors?     (A) Loose electrons move quickly away from hot locations, making it impossible for energy to move and making the object a good insulator.   (B) Loose electrons absorb energy, giving materials a high specific heat capacity.   (C) Loose electrons vibrate and emit radiation that carries energy through the material at the speed of light.   (D) Loose electrons transfer energy rapidly through a solid.
