thermal physics Flashcards
1
Q
internal energy of a system
A
energy of the molecules or atoms
(u) and has two components KE , PE
2
Q
forms of kinetic energy
A
translational motion often in gas(side to side)
rotational motion ,liquid
vibrational motion , solid
all are temperature dependant
3
Q
forms od potential energy
A
due to intermolecular forces but in ideal gas there aren’t any forces b no potential energy
