AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying the factors that influence the equilibrium temperature of an object, such as material properties, surface area, and environmental conditions. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding these factors before planning an experiment. Suggestions for conducting an experiment include measuring temperature changes under controlled conditions and varying one factor at a time to observe its effect. The need for a clear hypothesis and a structured approach to experimentation is highlighted. Overall, the conversation aims to guide the planning of a practical demonstration of these concepts.

firstly, what are the factors affecting the equilibrium temperature of an object.
Secondly, how do u conduct/plan an experiment to show that?

Need help asap!

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
