Answer:

Yes, this is possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is possible that a cup of tea and teapot filled with tea has the same thermal energy. This often occurs in the real world, when two different thermal energy bodies are placed next to each other.

When two bodies are placed next to each other and these two bodies have different temperatures, there is a transfer of thermal energy between them, which allows them to present the same thermal energy.

With that we can conclude that the teapot received thermal energy from the stove and passed that energy to the tea that was inside it, in this way, tea and teapot had equal thermal energy. This tea, with high thermal energy, was placed in a cup with low thermal energy. The tea promoted a transfer of heat between him and the cup, allowing them to equalize their temperatures and consequently the thermal energy.

In this way, the cup has the same temperature as the tea, which has the same temperature as the teapot.
