Two bodies can be in thermal equilibrium with one another when they are at the same temperature even if they
a. absorb different quantities of thermal energy from their surroundings in equal time intervals.
b. have different masses.
c. have different volumes.
d. have any of the properties listed above. e. have any of the properties listed above and one of them is contact with a third body at a different temperature.
Question 2
A bowling ball size probe from a spaceship and a pebble size object land on a large asteroid that is far from any star. After a long period of time has passed, it is highly probable that the pebble and the probe
a. have each had the same change in temperature. b. have each had the same change in volume. c. are in thermal equilibrium with one another.
d. are not in thermal equilibrium with one another.
e. are in thermal equilibrium with one another, but are not at the same temperature.
