Temperature • …is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. • - the faster the particles, the more kinetic energy.
Temp scales • Fahrenheit • English • Water FP -(32ºF) BP – (212ºF) • Celsius • metric • -Water FP – (0ºC) BP – (100ºC) • Kelvin • metric • -Water FP – (273K) BP – (373K)
The Lowest Point Possible • Absolute Zero – The point at which ALL molecular motion stops. (No molecules move.) • -0K or -273ºC
Heat • …Is the transfer of energy between objects that are different temperatures. • …Is ALWAYS transferred from areas of high temp. to area of low temp. • Soda can from fridge in your hand. (Energy goes from your hand to can.) Feels col • Cup of hodt tea in your hand. )Energy goes from cup to your hand.) Feels hot`
Thermal Energy • … is the total energy of the particles in a substance. Measured in Joules (J). • Depends on: • Temperature of substance • How much of the substance you have
Specific Heat • …is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1ºC. • (We call this a calorie.)
