Temperature and Heat Flashcards
Quantitative measure of hotness or coldness of a body
temperature
How does thermometer work
- The thermometer is placed in contact with the body
- The thermometer becomes hotter, the body cools off a little
- Thermal equilibrium
“If a system C is initially in thermal
equilibrium with both systems A and B, then A and B are also in thermal equilibrium with each other”
Zeroth Law of Dynamics
Two systems are in thermal equilibrium if and only if they have the same ___________.
temperature
The Measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object
temperature
The ______ and ______
determine the temperature
of the object
atoms mass and speed

Change in physical dimensions
when subjected to change in temperature
thermal expansion
Most materials expand when __________
heated
The thermometer can measure
temperature because
the substance of the liquid inside
always expands (increases) or
contracts (decreases) by a certain
amount due to a change in temperature
is a strip that consists of two strips of different metals which expand at different rates as they are heated
is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
Bimetallic strip
is defined as the transfer of energy across the boundary of a system due to a temperature difference between the system and its surroundings.
