Heat and Temperature Grade 8

This document defines key concepts related to heat and temperature. It explains that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object, while heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference. It also notes that thermal energy is associated with the motion of particles in a system and responsible for its temperature. Higher temperature objects have more thermal energy than lower temperature objects provided they have the same number of particles and phase.

HEAT AND TEMPERATURE

TEMPERATURE
• relative hotness or coldness of an
object
• the measure of the average kinetic
energy of all the particles in the
object
HEAT
• Energy in transit
• It is thermal energy being transferred from a
warmer object to a cooler object
• 1 calorie = 4.187 J
• 1000 cal = 1 Calorie (kcal)
• Upon collision, the particles of the body with
higher temperature transfer energy with the
particles of the body with lower
temperature.
Thermal Energy
• Energy associated due to the motion of
particles contained within a system that is
responsible for its temperature

Matter
Number of Particles in Body
• A pale of water has more internal energy than
a cup of water provided that both have the
same temperature and arrangement of
molecules
• A 400K object has more thermal energy than a
50K object provided that they have the same
number of particles and same phases.
How smart are you?
• How will you increase the measure of temperature in an
object?

• How will you decrease the measure of temperature in an


object?

• What will happen to the temperature of two objects in


contact if heat transfer does not occur between them?
Which one has higher amount of thermal energy?
Same amount of hot and cold?
