Heat Flashcards
The average kinetic energy of a system. The measure of the hotness or coldness of a body. It can be measured in Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine.
Temperature
The SI unit of temperature.
Kelvin
It is defined as energy in transit. It is measured in joules (J).
Heat
The total energy of the system responsible for its temperature. It depends on the amount of matter. When we sum up all the kinetic energies and potential energies of a system.
Thermal Energy
When the two objects are placed in contact with each other in a closed system.
Thermal Equilibrium
A Swedish astronomer from Uppsala, Sweden. He invented a temperature scale named after him: the Celsius – also known as the centigrade scale.
Anders Celsius
