Which property will eventually be the same for two objects after heat is transferred between them?

Answer 1

A wrong Idea:

Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same, but they are not.

Perhaps the reason the two are usually and incorrectly thought to be the same is because as human beings on Earth everyday experience leads us to notice that when you heat something up, say like putting a pot of water on the stove, then the temperature of that something goes up. More heat, more temperature - they must be the same, right? Turns out, though, this is not true.

Initial Definitions:

Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.

Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules.

More abut temperature:

So, temperature is not energy. It is, though, a number that relates to one type of energy possessed by the molecules of a substance. Temperature directly relates to the kinetic energy of the molecules. The molecules have another type of energy besides kinetic, however; they have potential energy, also. Temperature readings do not tell you anything directly about this potential energy.

Temperature can be measured in a variety of units. If you measure it in degrees Kelvin, then the temperature value is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance. Notice we did not say that temperature is the kinetic energy. We said it is a number, if in degrees Kelvin, is proportional to the average kinetic energies of the molecules; that is, if you double the Kelvin temperature of a substance, you double the average kinetic energy of its molecules.

More About Heat:

Heat is energy.

Heat is the total amount of energy possessed by the molecules in a piece of matter. This energy is both kinetic energy and potential energy.

When heat, (i. e., energy), goes into a substance one of two things can happen:1. The substance can experience a raise in temperature. That is, the heat can be used to speed up the molecules of the substance. Since Kelvin temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance, an factor increase in temperature causes an equal factor increase in the average kinetic energy of the molecules. And if the kinetic energy of the molecules increase, the speed of the molecules will increase, although these increases are not directly proportional. The kinetic energy of a body is proportional to the square of the speed of the body. 2. The substance can change state. For example, if the substance is ice, it can melt into water. Perhaps surprisingly, this change does not cause a raise in temperature. The moment before melting the average kinetic energy of the ice molecules is the same as the average kinetic energy of the water molecules a moment after melting. Although heat is absorbed by this change of state, the absorbed energy is not used to speed up the molecules. The energy is used to change the bonding between the molecules. Changing the manner in which the molecules bond to one another constitutes a change in potential energy. Heat comes in and there is an increase in the potential energy of the molecules. Their kinetic energy remains unchanged.

So, when heat comes into a substance, energy comes into a substance. That energy can be used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, which would cause an increase in temperature. Or that heat could be used to increase the potential energy of the molecules causing a change in state that is not accompanied by an increase in temperature.

Answer 2

No. The thermal energy which an object has is a function of temperature, mass and thermal capacity. In other words, a large object at the same temperature as a small object has more heat energy simply because there is more hot stuff. Also some types of matter (such as water) are able to take in alot more heat energy before changing temperature than others.

Answer 3

In physics and thermodynamics, heat is theprocess of energy transfer from one body or system due to thermal contact, which in turn is defined as an energy transfer to a body in any.

The thermal motions of atoms are very fast and temperatures close to ... When two systems are at the same temperature, no heat transfer occurs between them. ...

Answer 4

Heat and temperature are essentially the same thing, but with temperature generally referring to the numerical quantity, in units of Kelvin, Celsius or Fahrenheit. Both describe a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a solid, liquid or gas. It is also the movement of the particles

Answer 5

No. When you pour some heat into a container, temperature is how deep it gets.

Example:

Pour the same amount of heat into a glass of water and a swimming pool of water.

The temperature will rise higher (deeper) in the glassful than in the poolful.

Answer 6

Heat and temperature are not the same because heat measures the total energy of all the molecular motion inside that object and temperature refers to a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the molecules in a substance.

Answer 7

No. Temperature + mass = heat. Temperature is how hot something is, not how much hotness (or heat) it has.

Answer 8

yes it does because the thermal energy it has the higher the temp

Answer 9

Thermal energy

Answer 10

The temperature.
