Thermal Physics

Question 1

When two objects undergo the transfer of heat and eventually arrive at the same temperature

Answer 1

THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM

Question 2

Variable- c
Water- 1 cal/gºc
The higher this value is, the better that particular substances is at retaining or holding onto its thermal energy.

Answer 2

Specific heat capacity

Question 3

Heat is transferred through the DIRECT contact of objects

Answer 3

Conduction
