Any object resting on a table, on the floor, etc., is said to be in equilibrium.

∙ 11y agoThermal equilibrium is when the temperature of a system or organism is equal to the temperature of its surroundings. It is part of the zeroth law of thermodynamics. The zeroth law is" if 2 things are at the same temperature, no heat will flow between them. If they are next to each other, they will be in thermal equilibrium. This means things at the same temperature are the same temperature. For example, if hot tea is in a room where it is cold, the tea will also become cold. If the tea is the same temperature as the room then they will stay the same temperature.

∙ 7y agoWhen two objects are in thermal equilibrium, not heat will flow between them - which is in accord with the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
This is also related to (but different from) the zeroeth law which states that if two objects are each in equilibrium with a third object, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other.

What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler one is referred to as?
This is the zeroth law of thermodynamics: objects at different temperatures will form a thermal equilibrium. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy can not be created or destroyed but can only change form. So the cooler object has to get hotter not the other way around.
Is an oven a example of chemical energy?
No. An oven is an example of 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.
What is an example of thermal energy being transformed into chemical energy?
from what i can find, it is only possible fro chemical energy to be transfered to thermal energy. burning wood is one example of this.
What is an example of chemical energy transforms into thermal energy?
when gunpowder is ignited
What is special about the entropy in thermodynamic equilibrium compared to all statesof a system?
In thermal equilibrium, and only in thermal equilibrium, entropy is constant.
Why the earth is not in thermal equilibrium with yhe sun?
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
Why the earth is not thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Why is earth not in thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Two bodies Are in rotational equilibrium if they are at the same temperature?
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
What does zeroth law of thermodynamics states?
Consider 2 beakers of water, in one beaker, the temperature of water is above room temperature, and the other is below room temperature. They are left on a table (they are not in contact with each other), after some time, equilibrium is reached. Both beakers of water are at the same temperature. The two beakers become in thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, thus they are in thermal equilibrium with each other, and they are at the same temperature. I hope that it helps you...
What states that the two system which are in thermal equilibrium with a third system are in thermal equilibrium with each other?
Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define the notion of temperature.
If two bodies are in thermal equilibrium in one frame will they be in thermal equilibrium in all frames?
No., because thermal property like conductivity, diffusivity of two material my not be same in other medium.
What is the value of k in thermal equilibrium?
kelvin
What happens when thermal energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?
thermal equilibrium
How is thermal equilibrium established?
Thermal equilibrium is established by the transfer of heat energy from the hotter object to the cooler object until both objects are at the same temperature.
