No they wouldn't, this refers to specific heat capacities. Generally, gold has a lower heat capacities than of water, thus it takes less energy to change the temperature of gold than it does to change the temperature of water. So if you add the same amount of heat to both systems of water and gold, the gold will be hotter than the water.

2 glasses of water have the same thermal energy must they have the same temperature explain?
How you can tell is the temperature between the two liquids. If one of the liquid's temperature is warmer than the other one, then that liquid has more thermal energy.
What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?
Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.
Example of chemical to thermal energy?
You could burn a fire.
Does the heat per pound to change the temperature of water stay the same regardless if the water is in a solid liquid or vapor state?
No. The quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of water is different depending on the phase of water. This is especially true at or near a phase transition as thermal energy is absorbed during a phase transistion thus altering the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of said water.
What is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material 1 degree celsius?
Depends on both the exact material and the exact temperature. The amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of material X by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat of material X. It takes 1000 times as much thermal energy to raise 1 kilogram by one degree Celsius because 1 kilogram is 1000 times as much mass as 1 gram. This does not hold over phase changes, such as ice to water or water to steam, because any phase change requires energy just for the phase change. Further, if you use a sharp pencil, many materials have specific heat which changes depending on the material's exact temperature. So you need to know what material and what temperature range and for that material are there any phase changes at that temperature range.
Compare the amount of thermal energy of the water in the lake and the water in the pail?
per kilogram they are the same,
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
A thimbleful of water at 100c has a highrer temperature than a swimming pool full of water at 20c but the pool has more thermal energy than the timble explain?
To raise the temperature of water in a thimble of water from 0 to 100 requires a small amount of thermal energy. To do the same with a swimming pool would require putting a huge amount of thermal energy into the water comparatively speaking.
Why water is a very efficient thermal buffer?
Water has a high heat capacity, which can be described as "thermal inertia". That means that water can absorb a large amount of heat energy.
How is specific heat related to thermal energy?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
Do you use thermal energy every day?
Yes, your body uses a thermal energy known as caloric energy called "calories." A calorie is the amount of thermal energy required to heat one gram of water by one degree centigrade.
Does the amount of substance change its thermal energy?
Yes, the more substance you have, the slower the temperature change.
How are thermal energy and temperature alike?
If you increase temperature you increase thermal energy.If you double the amount you have the temperature does not change but the thermal energy does.Temperature and thermal energy are the same since they both use kinetic energy. Temperature uses the thermal energy when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy. The thermal energy uses the kinetic energy, when it's averged together with the kinetic enery and the others to make the thermal energy.==========================Answer #2:Wow !Temperature is to thermal energy as depth is to water.
How is specific heat related to thermal heat?
specific heat is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of an object. for example, the water on the beach and the sand on the shore are absorbing the same amount of thermal energy from the sun but the water (which has high specific heat) is cold, and the sand (with low specific heat) is very hot.
If two glasses of water have the same temperatures do they necessarily have the same thermal energy?
The quantity of a substance and its temperature determine the amount of energy it has. Unless both glasses of water have the same number of atoms exactly, there will be some variance in their thermal energy levels.
Can a container of cold water have the same thermal energy as hot water?
No, the thermal energy of any object is a multiple of its temperature (absolute), the specific heat of the material it is made of, and the mass of the material. So obviously a large pot contains more energy than a small one.
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
