When two objects that are touching reach the same temperature what has occured?

The objects have reached thermal equilibrium, meaning they have equalized their temperatures by transferring heat until they are the same.


What is the flow of heat between two objects that are touching?

Heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature when they are in contact. This process continues until both objects reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures are equal.


When you reach the temperatures of the point you become a liquid?

melting point. :)


When two objects or different temperature become the same temperature?

When two objects at different temperatures come into contact and exchange thermal energy until they reach a common temperature, this is known as thermal equilibrium. At this point, the objects' temperatures are balanced and no further net transfer of heat occurs between them.


At what point does a gas become a liquid?

Boiling Point. Different substances reach this point at different pressures and temperatures.


Does temperature move from hot to cold?

Yes, heat energy moves from objects with higher temperatures to objects with lower temperatures, until they reach thermal equilibrium. This is known as the principle of thermal equilibrium.


How thermal energy travel?

Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.


How long does the heat energy flow?

Heat energy flows from a hotter object to a cooler object until both reach thermal equilibrium, where they are at the same temperature. The time it takes for this transfer to occur depends on the temperature difference between the objects, the materials involved, and the distance separating them.


What occurs if two objects of different temperatures touch?

If the contact is good, then energy (heat) will pass from the object at a higher temperature to the one at a lower temperature until the temperatures of the two bodies are equal. This precludes cases such as a burning match stick touching a flammable object and such


Transfering charge by touching is charging by?

Transfer of charge by touching is known as charging by conduction. When a charged object touches a neutral object, electrons are transferred between the two objects until they reach equilibrium, resulting in both objects being charged.


Flow of heat between two objects are touching?

Heat flows from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature until they reach thermal equilibrium, where their temperatures become equal. This transfer occurs through conduction, where heat travels through direct contact between the two objects. The rate of heat transfer depends on the temperature difference between the objects and their thermal conductivity.


What is the energy that flows between objects that have different temperatures?

The energy that flows between objects with different temperatures is called heat. Heat transfer occurs from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature in order to reach thermal equilibrium.
