Heat and Temperature

What does temperature measure in a system?

• The color of the system

• The amount of heat energy available for work

• The volume of the system

• The mass of the system

How is kinetic energy related to temperature?

• Higher temperatures mean slower-moving particles

• Higher temperatures mean faster-moving particles

• Temperature only affects solid particles

• Temperature does not affect particle movement

What is thermal equilibrium?

• A state where all particles stop moving

• A state where all objects have the same temperature

• A state where heat flows from cold to hot objects

• A state where only gases are affected

What causes thermal expansion?

• Increase in pressure

• Decrease in pressure

• Increase in temperature

• Decrease in temperature

How do thermometers measure temperature?

• By measuring the color of the liquid inside

• By measuring the sound of the environment

• By measuring the expansion of the thermometer fluid

• By measuring the weight of the thermometer
