Two things can have the same temperature but different heats if they have different specific heats. For example, water has a specific heat of 1 joule per gram per degree. Iron has a specific heat of 0.45 joules per gram per degree. So, if you had 1 gram of water and 1 gram of iron, both at 25º, and you added 1 joule of energy, the temperature of water would go up 1 degree to 26º, but the temperature of iron would go up 2.2 degrees to 27.2º.

What is the direct transfer of heat energy called?

conduction is the direct transfer of heat energy. It works like this:when two things to separate temperatures meet, then one cools down and the other heats up until they are both the same temperature.

Can two isotherm intersect each other?

No.An isotherm is a collection of points that are all at the same temperature. If two (different) isotherms were to touch each other then that would imply that they were at the same temperature but, by definition, if they have points on them at different temperatures then all the points on them must be at different temperatures.

What is the word that means different yet same?

Your question is vague enough that it could be many things: homonyms (things that sound the same but are spelled differently and mean different things), metaphors (things that are compared to other different things in one particular), subspecies (two different classes of the same thing), variants (two different kinds of the same thing), identical twins (different people with the same genetic structure), etc.


Can two body at same temperature have different heat?

Yes. Heat is energy temperature is not, E1 =k1T and E2 = k2T the temperatures are the same but the heat is different because K1 is different from k2.
