Thermal Equlibrium

Mr. Anderson explains thermal equilibrium, where two connected objects with different temperatures eventually reach the same temperature. He uses examples from computer components and simulations to illustrate heat transfer and the conservation of momentum. The video covers both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives, showing how energy moves from hotter to colder objects until equilibrium is achieved.

Describe the process that occurs when a hot object is placed in contact with a cold object.

What happens at the molecular level when two objects reach thermal equilibrium?
