Question

Two objects are made of the same material, but they have different masses and temperatures.

Part A

If the objects are brought into thermal contact, which one will have the greater temperature change?

If the objects are brought into thermal contact, which one will have the greater temperature change?

The one with the lesser mass. The one with the lower initial temperature. The one with the higher initial temperature. The one with the higher specific heat. The one with the greater mass. Not enough information

Explanation / Answer

if the bodies attain thermal equilibrium they lose and gain equal amount of heat and under such circumstances Q = m s (dt ), where dt is the temperature change

so that we see that dt is inversely proportional to mass ie., the body of smaller mass will experience greater temperature change.

option a is correct.
