Temperature
Temperature measures the
kinetic energy
of the atoms or molecules of a gas
Specific heat capacity
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of
1kg
of a substance by
1K
or 1 degree
Specific latent heat
The energy required to change the state of a substance without a change of
temperature
Internal energy
The sum of
molecules
randomly distributed
potential
and
kinetic
energies
Particles
of a substance at
absolute zero
have no
kinetic energy
Pressure
and
temperature
are directly proportional
Pressure
and
volume
are inversely proportional
Black body
A body that absorbs
radiation
of all wavelengths
