Many factors affect the actual change in temperature, not the least of which is the mass of each object. If one of the objects is very massive in relation to the other, it may cobtain more heat than the smaller one, even if the smaller one has a higher temperature to start with. Answer
I agree but for a different reason. Even if the objects are of identical size and mass, it seems there will be substantial loss of entropic heat, and I'm guessing that the hotter of the two will experience more loss of entropic heat than the cooler one. So the temperature changes are not likely to be the same.

∙ 10y agoOK, let's see an example. Two objects of the same mass and same material (for simplicity) have temperatures of 50° and 60°, respectively. When heat is transferred between them, they may have temperatures of, say, 51° and 59°; later 52° and 58°, etc.; this will continue until they have the same temperature. But if they only have contact for a brief time, they will not necessarily have the same temperature - it needs a certain time for the temperatures to become equal.

Two objects are in thermal equilibrium if they?
if they have same temperature.
What is a condition where all objects in a system are at the same temperature?
Thermal equilibrium
What is it called when objects have the same temperature and the energy is no longer being transferred between two objects?
equilibrium state----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ------ ----- ----- ----- -----'Thermal Equilibrium'.
How is thermal eqilibrium achived?
Thermal Equilibrium is achieved when two objects reach the same temperature and exchange energy through heat. Eventually the temperature between the two objects will be equal and will stop exchanging heat. At this point, They are in a state of Thermal Equilibrium.
How is thermal equilibrium established?
Thermal equilibrium is established by the transfer of heat energy from the hotter object to the cooler object until both objects are at the same temperature.

What is the state in witch no thernal energy is transferred between objects because they are the same temperature?
(thermal) equilibrium
How is equilibrium established?
Thermal equilibrium is established by the transfer of heat energy from the hotter object to the cooler object until both objects are at the same temperature.
Why the earth is not in thermal equilibrium with yhe sun?
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
What needs to happen for thermal energy to be transferred and what needs to happen at thermal equilibrium?
You have to have two objects at different temperatures near each other, when two or more objects have the same temperature.
Two bodies Are in rotational equilibrium if they are at the same temperature?
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
Example of thermal equilibrium?
Any object resting on a table, on the floor, etc., is said to be in equilibrium. The amount of money in a bank account never changes
Does two objects at different temperature have same thermal energy explain?
No,two objects at different temperature does not have the same thermal energy because both objects have different temperature .object with high temperature has more thermal energy and the object with low temperature has less thermal energy.
