Heat Exchange

Mr. Anderson explains heat exchange, focusing on the transfer of kinetic energy between warmer and colder bodies. He uses a PhET simulation to demonstrate how different materials transfer heat and discusses the concept of specific heat capacity. The video also covers the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and how it relates to thermal equilibrium.

What happens to the kinetic energy of molecules when heat is added to a substance?

Describe the process that occurs when a warmer body and a colder body are placed in contact.

In your own words, explain what thermal equilibrium means.
