energy transfers from faster molecules to slower- molecules
what is a stable state where all molecules in a system move at about the same speed
equilibirum
two objects are at the same temperature. Object A has more molecules than Object B.
Object A has more total thermal energy
what is the total kinetic energy of all molecules in a thing
thermal energy
object A= 80 degrees
object B=40 degrees

object a
what is the energy of motion in particles
kinetic energy
when energy moves from faster-moving molecules to slower- moving ones
energy transfer
