Question

What will happen if a 100 g block of iron at 100 degrees is placed in contact with a 50g iron block at 50 degrees?

Sammy Universe · Accepted Answer

heat will flow from the hotter block to the colder one till = same temperature
When they are the same temp the 100g will have a higher internal energy bec there is more of it than the 50g block

But the average kinetic energy will be the same bec same temp
