Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance during melting?

Back

The temperature stays the same while the substance changes from solid to liquid.

Front

What is the relationship between thermal energy and temperature?

Back

Higher temperature means higher thermal energy if the amount of matter is constant.

Front

What is specific heat capacity?

Back

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.
