7.

Hot objects has​ (a)   thermal energy than colder object, which has a ​ (b)   thermla energy,

Choose from the below words
more
less
about the same
8.

When hot and cold objects are placed in contact, the two objects reach the same (a)   , in another word, they both have the same temperature. When hot and cold objects are placed in contact with one another, the ​ (b)  
moving particles in the ​ (c)   object will begin to bump into the ​ (d)   moving particles in
the ​ (e)   object making them move faster (and vice versa, the faster particles will then
move more slowly)

Choose from the below words
thermal equilibium
faster
slower
colder
hot
9.
