Question

two 11-kilogram gold bars are identical except for their thermal energies. which gold bar has a higher temperature? the gold bar with more thermal energy the gold bar with less thermal energy

Explanation:

Thermal energy depends on mass, temperature, and specific heat. For identical (same mass, same material - so same specific heat) gold bars, more thermal energy means higher temperature (since \( Q = mc\Delta T \), with \( m \) and \( c \) constant, higher \( Q \) implies higher \( T \)).

Answer:

the gold bar with more thermal energy
