Objects A and B both have mass 2 kg. Object A has temperature 20°C and Object B has temperature 40°C. The specific heat of Object A is larger than that of Object B. The two objects are isolated from the environment and are brought into thermal contact with each other and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium. Is the final temperature of both objects greater than, less than or equal to 30°C? Briefly explain your reasoning.

Equal to 30°C.

Explanation:

The final temperature of both objects are equal to 30°C because of the conduction heat from one object to another. Both objects have same mass of 2 kg and both were isolated from the external environment so conduction of heat occurs from the more hotter body to the less hotter body until the temperature of both objects are equal to each other.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
