Heat and Temperature!

Front

What is the definition of temperature?

Back

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

Front

What is the formula to calculate heat energy (Q)?

Back

Q = m × C × ΔT, where m is mass, C is specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Front

What is specific heat?

Back

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

Front

What is the specific heat of water?

Back

The specific heat of water is 4184 J/kg°C.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it absorbs heat?

Back

The temperature of the substance increases.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it loses heat?

Back

The temperature of the substance decreases.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in an object.

Front

What is the difference between heat and temperature?

Back

Heat is the energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.

Front

What is the symbol for specific heat?

Back

The symbol for specific heat is C.

Front

How do you calculate the change in temperature?

Back

Change in temperature (ΔT) = Final temperature - Initial temperature.
