You could call it an equilibrium.

What happens when two bodies having same temperature come in a contact?
If a hot body contacts a cold body, heat is lost to the cold body until both bodies reach the same temperature (reach equilibrium) after which, the two bodies cool down at the same rate.If two bodies of the same temperature come in contact, they would cool down together, as there is no difference in their initial temperature and their temperature is already in equilibrium.
What is scientific definition of conduction?
Conduction is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient.
When two bodies are on contact heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body when does heat stop flowing?
When the temperature of each body is the same.
In terms of differences in temperature what direction does heat flow between objects in thermal contact?
When two objects at difference temperatures touch, they both decrease or increase to result in the same temperatures so that it's at equilibrium. To change in temperature, the heat energy from the the object with the higher temperature will always flow to the object with the lower temperature. This is also the definition of heat and is not to be mistaken with temperature. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. Temperature is the measurement of kinetic energy of particles in an object.
What is the definition of temperature in physics?
temperature is the quantity that tell us the thermal state of a body. it is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. it defines the direction of flow of heat when two bodies at different temperatures are placed in contact. ruchi
Does heat transfer with the same temperature?
No. When two bodies or regions are at the same temperature, equilibrium is already reached & no transfer of heat occurs.
Does the transfer of heat stops in two bodies in contact when they attain the same temperature?
YES.
How do we know when the transfer of heat has ended?
It is when all bodies are at the same temperature.
What happens when two bodies having same temperature come in a contact?
If a hot body contacts a cold body, heat is lost to the cold body until both bodies reach the same temperature (reach equilibrium) after which, the two bodies cool down at the same rate.If two bodies of the same temperature come in contact, they would cool down together, as there is no difference in their initial temperature and their temperature is already in equilibrium.
How do things cool?
The universe wants to even out all the energy in it. Thus until this even state is reached, bodies that are warmer than this state will radiate electromagnetic heat energy and in doing so cool. Where the body is in contact with other matter, it will also transfer its micro kinetic energy to the matter around and in contact with it.
Energy transferred as heat ocurres between two bodies in thermal contact when they difffer in?
temperature
What occurs when two bodies of differing temperature are placed into contact?
Heat will flow from the body with the highest temperature to the lowest temperature body until the temperatures are the same.
What is scientific definition of conduction?
Conduction is a mode of transfer of energy within and between bodies of matter, due to a temperature gradient.
What direction does thermal energy flow?
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Where can you find some examples of equilibrium?
in case of transfer of heat. the heat is transferred from a body at higher temperature to the body at lower temperature. the heat is transferred till the time the temperature of both the bodies becomes same.
How is heat tranferred by conduction?
By the principle of thermodynamics, the heat travels from one body which in contact with the other, till the point where both the bodies acquire same temperature, so conduction works in sync with thermodynamics where both bodies acquire same temperature.
When two bodies are on contact heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body when does heat stop flowing?
When the temperature of each body is the same.
