Temperature

Cards (9)

  • Temperature is the Average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance or object
  • Kinetic energy is the energy in motion.
  • HIGH Kinetic energy = HIGH temperature
  • Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin are all temperature scales.
  • Hot air molecules have more heat energy while Cold air molecules have lesser heat energy.
  • Warm water has more energy than cold water as molecules in warm water move faster than molecules in cold water.
  • The hot coffee has a higher temperature than the cold water as the coffee's particles move faster, thus, they have greater average kinetic energy.
    A)
  • When an object is heated, its particles move faster, its average kinetic energy increases, and thus its temperature rises,
  • Heat is the total energy of a substance's molecules motion, while temperature measures the average energy of these molecules motions.
