All objects have a specific heat capacity, the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of the object by one degree centigrade. Therefore, if an object has a specific heat capacity of say, 500 joules, and you wanted to heat 3 grams of that object by 1 degree, you would need 1500 joules of energy. But if you put that 1500 joules of energy into only 1 gram of the object, you would heat it by 3 degrees.

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.


Why does adding the same amount of heat to two different Objects does not necessarily produce the same increase in Temperature?

Difference in desity of the matrials the objects are made of.


What is thermal energy transferred between objects which have different temperature?

Thermal energy transferred between objects which have different temperature?

A transfer of heat (H) energy does not occur without a temperature differential. If the two objects had different amounts of H then a transfer would indeed occur. In this case heat would flow from a higher to lower temperature object.

Two objects have the same total thermal energy They are different sizes Are they at the same temperature?

No, there will only be a spontaneous transfer of heat if the objects are at different tempratures.No, there will only be a spontaneous transfer of heat if the objects are at different tempratures.No, there will only be a spontaneous transfer of heat if the objects are at different tempratures.No, there will only be a spontaneous transfer of heat if the objects are at different tempratures.


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.

Why do particles have different amounts of kinetic energy?

Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.
