Two substances, a and b, of equal mass but at different temperatures come into thermal contact. the specific heat capacity of substance a is twice the specific heat capacity of substance b. which statement is true of the temperatures of the two substances when they reach thermal equilibrium? (assume no heat loss other than the thermal transfer between the substances).

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
