The nine ring wraiths want to fly from barad-dur to rivendell. rivendell is directly north of barad-dur. the dark tower reports

Converting 1 kg of any mass entirely into energy generates

(1kg) · (c²) Joules of energy.

E = (1 kg) · (c²) = (1 kg) · (299,792,458 m/s)²

E = 8.9876 x 10¹⁶ Joules

To simplify, this equates to the energy needed to keep a 100-watt light bulb illuminated for about 10,402,259,010 days.

(This is roughly 28.5 million years, based on the current understanding of days and years.)

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

• When the blocks are brought into contact and isolated from the environment, they will exchange heat until they achieve thermal equilibrium.
• During this exchange, the hotter body will lose heat, which will be gained by the cooler body.
• The equilibrium state will be established once this equation is satisfied:

• Substituting the initial temperatures T₀A = 300º C and T₀B = 400ºC, while simplifying for equal block masses mA = mB, enables us to solve for the final temperature, Tfin:

• At equilibrium, when both blocks combine, they will yield a uniform final temperature of 350ºC.
• When block C, also at this temperature, makes contact, all three blocks will simultaneously reflect this final temperature of 350 ºC.
• Therefore, option b) is correct.
