Athermally isolated system consists of a hot piece of aluminum and a cold piece of copper. the aluminum and the copper are in thermal contact. the specific heat of aluminum is more than double that of copper. which object experiences the greater amount of heat transfer during the time it takes the system to reach thermal equilibrium?

the amount of heat that gets through both the wires will be same.

Explanation:

By the Fourier's law of conduction we have:

where:

= rate of heat transfer

k = thermal conductivity of the material

A = area of the material

dT = temperature difference across the length dx

According to the question, the system to be analysed is isolated from the surrounding.

Until the thermal equilibrium is established between aluminium and copper wires the amount of heat that gets through both the wires will be same.

But the rate of heat transfer through the aluminium will be greater as it has double the thermal conductivity of copper.

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
