Answer:
I would say the smaller object.
Explanation:
In any case, thermal energy can be spread throughout the object easier, and quicker, rather than the bigger object.
For example: You are boiling two pots of water, let's suppose Pot A has twice as much as Pot B:
|--------------------- | | |
| | |----------------------- |
|_____________| |______________|
Pot A Pot B
If you boil them at both the same time, temperature, and continue that for sometime, your results will be that Pot B will have risen in temperature alot faster than Pot A
The comparison:
Pot A and Pot B's Amount of water - Supposed to be the different size of the objects
Stove/Boiling: Would be if thermal heat were to enter the objects at the same temperatures.
