Physics · Thermal equilibrium and the concept of temperature, zeroth law of thermodynamics
The following three objects (1) a metal tray, (2) a block of wood,and (3) a wood
The following three objects (1) a metal tray, (2) a block of wood,and (3) a wooden cap are left in a closed room overnight. Next day the temperature of each is recorded as \( T_{1}, T_{2} \) and \( T_{3} \) respectively. The likely situation is
- A. \( T_{1}=T_{2}=T_{3} \)
- B. \( T_{3}>T_{2}>T_{1} \)
- C. \( T_{3}=T_{2}>T_{1} \)
- D. \( T_{3}>T_{2}=T_{1} \)
Step-by-step solution
All objects in the room will eventually reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, so they all have the same temperature. The material does not affect the final equilibrium temperature.
