Temperature 6.1 Cohick

Temperature: Is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.

Temperature The more kinetic energy that the particles have, the higher the temperature.

Temperature Temperature is not determined by how much substance you have. We measure temperature using a thermometer

Temperature Thermal expansion is the increase in volume of a substance due to an increase in temperature.

What is the human body temperature in Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin?

Temperature Fahrenheit is used most America for weather. Celsius and Kelvin are used in science. On the Kelvin scale the lowest temperature is 0 Kelvin. It is called Absolute Zero! You can not reach a temperature below –273oC. That became 0 on the Kelvin scale.

1. What temperature on the Celsius scale = 375 K? 2. Absolute zero is 0 K. What is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius scale? Fahrenheit? 3. Which temperature is colder, 0oF or 200 K?

Problems: Example: =5/9 x (59-32) 590F to 0C =5/9 x 27 0C = 5/9 x (0F – 32) 590F = 150C ***************************************************** Celsius to Fahrenheit Fahrenheit to Celsius 1120C a. 98.60 F 240 C b. 4820 F 170 C c. –40 F 00 C d. 750 F Kelvin to Celsius to Fahrenheit. a. 117 K b. 16 K
