Question

Two objects (A and B) are placed in thermal contact and exchange heat. Object A is initially
hotter than object B. Some additional information about them is given below. Which best describes
the final equilibrium temperature of the objects?

a) between TA and TB but closer to TA
b) between TA and TB but closer to TB
c) exactly halfway between TA and TB
d) need to know the temperatures to answer

A:
B:
mA = 400 g;
mg = 100 g;
CA = 200 J/(kg K)
CB = 300 J/(kg K)
Transcribed Image Text:A: B: mA = 400 g; mg = 100 g; CA = 200 J/(kg K) CB = 300 J/(kg K)
