Why does the transfer of energy between two colliding things stop?

Back

Molecules stop transferring energy when colliding systems reach a balance (equilibrium)

If a 40 and a 90 degree cup of coffee sit out on a 30 degree day, which cup will likely be warmest after 10 minutes?

Back

The 90 degree cup because it transferred energy to the colder air
