Is it possible for a bucket of water in Los Angeles and a bucket of water in New York City to be in thermal equilibrium? Explain.

Explanation:

Firstly what is thermal equilibrium?

Thermal equilibrium is "the condition under which two substances in physical contact with each other exchange no heat energy. Two substances in thermal equilibrium are said to be at the same temperature."

by virtue of the distance, and the condition under which thermal equilibrium must be satisfied, which is that two bodies must be in close contact, hence the buckets of water can not be in thermal equilibrium, since they are not in close contact.

explanation: in any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called brownian motion). as a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance).

explanation:

have a great day!

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
