In science, what temperature scale do scientists use?

• Celsius

• Kelvin

Term for the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg by 1o C.

• Kinetic Energy

• Specific Heat

• Thermal Energy

The average kinetic energy of the particles that make up an object increases when this, for the object, also increases.
