Biophysics Lec 4

Enumerate 3 pillars of KE

What is thermal equilibrium?

Heat is defined as

• the average kinetic energy of its particles.
• the energy transferred from a hotter body to a colder body.
• the action of bringing a liquid to the temperature at which it bubbles
• None of the above

It can be used to explain how solids, liquids and gases differ in movement and arrangement.

It is determined by the interplay of two opposing forces within a substance.

Enumerate 4 phases of matter

Temperature is the energy transferred from a hotter body to a colder body.

• True
• False

Enumerate units of temperature

The SI unit for temperature is Celsius

• True
• False

It is the particle motion at the molecular scale and it's a specific form of KE

• Thermal energy
• Temperature
• Latent Heat of vaporization
• Latent heat of fusion
