Understanding the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics

What happens when two objects of different temperatures are placed in contact?

• They reach the same temperature.

• They remain at their initial temperatures.

• They both become hotter.

• They both become colder.

Which mathematical property is used to explain the zeroth law of thermodynamics?

• Associative property

• Transitive property

• Distributive property

• Commutative property

According to the zeroth law, if object A is in thermal equilibrium with object B, and object B is in thermal equilibrium with object C, what can be inferred?

• Object A is hotter than object C.

• Object A is in thermal equilibrium with object C.

• Object A and C have different temperatures.

• Object A is cooler than object C.

What does the zeroth law of thermodynamics define?

• Pressure

• Volume

• Temperature

• Energy

What does the zeroth law of thermodynamics tell us about temperature?

• It is not measurable.

• It cannot be transferred.

• It is a fixed property.

• It can transfer from one object to another.
