Energy
Quantity describing the ability to cause a physical change (scalar)
Internal energy
the total energy associated with the random motion of particles
and the interactions between the particles within a system
Kinetic energy
the energy associated with the motion of an object
Particle
Small discrete object
Potential energy
the energy associated with the position of an object in the presence of a force that could move the object
State of matter
the physical property of an object being either a solid, liquid, or a gas
System
a collection of interacting particles or objects
Temperature
a measure of the average translational kinetic energy of the particles in a system (scalar)
Thermal energy
the kinetic energy associated with the movement of microscopic particles
Thermal equilibrium
the state of two (or more) systems having the same temperature so that there is no net flow of thermal energy from one system to the other
Calvin to celcius and celcius to kelvin
K = c +273.15
C= k-273.15
Kinetic theory of matter
All matter is made up of constant random and rapid motion. There is space between the particles
Explaining heat using kinetic theory
Heat is a form of energy
It is the measure of average translational kinetic energy of particles
Faster particles move= hotter
Joules is the unit of energy
Converting joules
1kj= 10^3j
1mj= 10^6j
1gj= 10^9 j
T info
It is temperature aka kinetic energy of particles in a substance
T is moving and colliding in liquids and gasses
T is jiggling in solids
Other movements don’t relate to t
