I think the question that was meant to be asked was "What is one that thermal energy can be transferred between two objects"
There are three means of heat transfer. One is conduction, which occurs when two objects are touching each other directly, and their temperatures will eventually equalize assuming that it is a closed system(meaning no heat is being added to the objects, and none is being taken away).
A second is called radiation, which occurs when heat is transmitted, usually through some sort of light, between two objects. The sun heats the earth in this way.
A third is called convection. This occurs when some sort of medium (such as air or water) is circulated in a current from a warm object to a cool object. To see this in action, boil a cup of water with white rice in it. The rice will rapidly rise to the top of the cup, and then it will fall back to the bottom. The water is the current here, the rice is only there to make the current more visible. Once the water is boiling the rice will move really fast.
Hope this helps!

When objects blank kinetic energy can be transferred?
When objects collide or touch, kinetic (mechanical) energy can be transferred.
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
Energy can be transferred between objects and places through many different methods what forms of energy transfer can involve energy transfer across vacuums?
radiation! :)
What is the name for thermal energy that is transfered only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?
All thermal energy flows from high temperature objects to low temperature objects. This is the nature of thermal energy.
What type of energy increases when an objects atoms move faster?
thermal energy.
What is thermal energy transferred between objects which have different temperature?
Heat
Which of these terms means energy transferred between objects at different temperatures?
thermal
Does thermal energy moves?
Such energy can be transferred. Usually it will transfer from hotter objects to colder objects.
What is the state in witch no thernal energy is transferred between objects because they are the same temperature?
(thermal) equilibrium
What type of charge is transferred when friction between two objects occurs?
Static charge (and thermal energy)
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'.
What energy is the movement of thermal energy from worm to cool objects?
it is heat because temperature is being transferred
What term describes the transfer of energy between objects that have different average kinetic energies?
The transfer of energy between two objects at different average thermal kinetic energies (temperatures) is referred to as heat transfer. It is always called heat transfer, regardless of what kind of energy is being transferred.
What is the thermal energy transferred from a hot objects to a cooler object?
Heat transfer... duhhh (o.o)(..)!
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy because of difference?
Heat is not the transfer of thermal energy. Heat is the thermal energy. What drives itacross a boundary between substances or objects is a difference in their temperatures.
What transfer of energy naturally occurs between objects?
If two objects of different temperature are brought into contact, internal energy is transferred via heat. If two objects collide, kinetic energy is transferred between them.
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.
