In one glass, water is poured at a temperature of 100 ° C, and in the other 90 ° C.

In one glass, water is poured at a temperature of 100 ° C, and in the other 90 ° C. Where is the internal energy greater and why, if the mass of water is the same?

Internal energy depends on the amount of heat transferred to the water.
The amount of heat depends on the water temperature: Q = C * m * T, where C is the heat capacity of water, J / (kg * oC); m is the mass of water, kg; T – water temperature, K. Obviously, other things being equal, the internal energy of water in the first glass is greater than in the second, since the water temperature in the first glass is higher.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
