Question
Two objects A & B are put into thermal contact and come to equilibrium. 

- A) \( m_A = 100 \, \text{g}; \, c_A = 900 \, \text{J/(kg K)} \)
- B) \( m_B = 200 \, \text{g}; \, c_B = 450 \, \text{J/(kg K)} \)

Their temperatures are initially \( T_A \) and \( T_B \), and object A is initially hotter.

Which statement about the final equilibrium temperature \( T_{EQ} \) is correct?

\[ T_{ave} = \frac{T_A + T_B}{2} \] is the average of the initial temperatures.

Options:

- \( T_{EQ} < T_B \)
- \( T_{EQ} = T_{ave} \)
- \( T_{EQ} = T_A \)
- \( T_{EQ} = T_B \)
- \( T_{EQ} > T_A \)
- \( T_{ave} > T_{EQ} > T_B \)
- \( T_{ave} < T_{EQ} < T_A \) (Correct option selected)
