Temperature Conversion and Scales

The video tutorial introduces the concept of temperature as a relative measure of heat flow between objects. It covers three temperature scales: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin, explaining how to convert between them. The tutorial provides detailed steps for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and Kelvin, and vice versa. It also discusses absolute zero, the coldest possible temperature where atomic motion ceases. The video concludes with a method for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius by rearranging the conversion equation.

What does temperature indicate in terms of heat flow?

• Heat flow from a hotter object to a cooler object

• The amount of heat an object can absorb

• Heat flow from a cooler object to a hotter object

• The speed of molecules in an object

Which of the following is NOT a temperature scale discussed in the video?

• Celsius

• Fahrenheit

• Kelvin

• Rankine

How is the temperature in Fahrenheit abbreviated in calculations?

• TK

• TF

• TC

• T°F

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• TF = 1.8 + TC * 32

• TF = TC / 1.8 + 32

• TF = 1.8 * TC + 32

• TF = TC + 32

If the temperature is 10°C, what is it in Fahrenheit?

• 50°F

• 32°F

• 72°F

• 68°F

What is the formula to convert Celsius to Kelvin?

• TK = TC / 1.8 + 273.15

• TK = 1.8 * TC + 273.15

• TK = TC - 273.15

• TK = TC + 273.15

What is absolute zero in Kelvin?

• 32 K

• 100 K

• 0 K

• 273.15 K

What happens to atoms and molecules at absolute zero?

• They move faster

• They stop moving completely

• They change state

• They vibrate more

How do you rearrange the equation to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

• Subtract 32 and multiply by 1.8

• Add 32 and divide by 1.8

• Subtract 32 and divide by 1.8

• Add 32 and multiply by 1.8

What is the first step in converting Fahrenheit to Celsius?

• Multiply by 1.8

• Subtract 32

• Add 32

• Divide by 1.8
