Question 74
F

Two rooms have walls of the same area. The temperature difference across each wall is the same.

The wall of room X is thicker than the wall of room Y, but the material of wall X has a higher thermal conductivity.

Which conclusion can be made from this information?

[1]
A

The two differences both reduce energy transfer, so room X must cool more slowly.

B

The two differences both increase energy transfer, so room X must cool more quickly.

C

The two differences must cancel exactly, so both rooms must cool at the same rate.

D

The two differences have opposing effects, so the faster cooling room cannot be identified.
