heat and temp

Cards (14)

  • we use unit joules for heat
  • we use a calorimeter or joules meter to measure heat
  • heat is the total kinetic and potential energy contained in molecules in that object
  • the flow of heat is from hot to cold, so the hotter the object, the faster the flow of heat
  • heat makes matter expand when hot eacsue they need more space for the molecules to move around
  • in temp we use the unit kelvin
  • we use a thermometer to measure temperature
  • temp is the average kinetic energy in molecules of a substance
  • flow of temperature is that it rises when heated and falls when cooled down
  • the greater the mass an object has the more heat it contains
  • temperature also makes matter expand when hot and contract when cold
  • heat :energy transferred from one object to another that are at diffrent teperature
  • temperature:tells you how hot or cold something is
  • the greater the volume the more heat it contains
