Select the correct answer.
An iron bar at 200°C is placed in thermal contact with an identical iron bar at 120°C in an isolated system. After 30 minutes, both iron bars are at
160°C. If the iron bars were placed in thermal contact in an open system instead of an isolated system, how would the results be different?
Assume that the room temperature is 25°C.
A.
The temperatures of the iron bars after 30 minutes would be less than 160°C because heat would be lost to the surroundings.
O
B.
It would take more than 30 minutes for both iron bars to reach 160°C because heat would be transferred less efficiently.
C.
The temperatures of both iron bars would increase as they absorb heat from the surroundings.
D.
The temperatures of both iron bars would decrease because pieces of them would be lost to the surroundings.

There is an area in idaho named craters of the moon where most of the ground is covered with basalt, adark gray, igneous rock with no visibl crystals. what can you infer about the geographical history of the area?

Which statement can best be concluded from the ideal gas law?

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
