Question

a 288-gram pile of peanuts is at a temperature of 13°c. then it is combined with another 288-gram pile of peanuts at the same temperature. select the better estimate for the temperature of the larger pile of peanuts. 13°c 26°c submit

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze heat transfer (no heat loss)

When combining two piles of peanuts at the same temperature, there's no net heat transfer (since same temp, thermal equilibrium).

Step2: Determine final temperature

So the temperature of the combined pile remains the same as the individual piles, which is \(13^\circ\text{C}\).

Answer:

\(13^\circ\text{C}\)
