TEMPERATURE
Temperature
The quantity that indicates how warm or cold an object is with respect to some standard (Hewitt) Celsius (centigrade), Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Rankine

Mercury Thermometers
Its phased out because of the danger of mercury poisoning.

Kelvin Scale
Calibrated using gas & Joseph Gay-Lussacs Law (not freezing
and boiling points of water).
Kelvin Scale
FALSE!
1-L of boiling water vs 2-L. 2-L has twice the total KE but the average KE is the same.

What is HEAT?
The ENERGY transferred between two objects because of the temperature difference between them. (Hewitt) Always from higher T to lower T (if spontaneous)

Quick Check-up
An iron thumbtack and a big iron bolt are removed from a hot oven. Both have the same T. When dropped into identical containers of water of equal T, which one raises the water temperature more?
Quantum Yuri B. Lubrica 2011 18
Answer:
The big iron bolt will because it has more mass and therefore more molecules, more internal energy to impart to the water. Same ave. KE, same T, different masses.

Caution:
Dont confuse specific heat with thermal conductivity! Graphite: c is 1.4x Diamond: k can be up to 19x

Answer:
Q = mcT = (80kg)(0.84 Cal/kg.K)(2.0K) = 134 Cal If it were not for the bodys temperature regulating systems, taking in energy in the form of food would produce measurable changes in the body temperature. -Young

Thermal Expansion
@Higher T, molecules jiggle faster and move farther apart. Linear Expansion: L = L o T
Quantum Yuri B. Lubrica 2011
Thermal Expansion Examples: Telephone wires, loosening metal lid, dental filling, reinforcing steel, thermostats, etc. *A 50.000m long steel rod only lengthens by 0.009m when the T is increased from 20C to 35C.
