Count Rumford supervised the drilling of brass cannons in a factory in Bavaria. From his observations, Rumford concluded that heat is not a form of matter.

Work and Heat In what direction does heat flow spontaneously? Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another because of a temperature difference. Heat flows spontaneously from hot objects to cold objects.

Work and Heat A drill is a machine that does work on the cannon. Remember that no machine is 100% efficient. Some of the work done by the drill is useful, but some energy is lost due to friction. Heat flows from the cannon to a surrounding water bath because the cannon is at a higher temperature than the water.

Temperature What is the temperature of an object related to? Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object due to their random motions through space.

Temperature Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is compared to a reference point. On the Celsius scale, the reference points are the freezing and boiling points of water. On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is defined as a temperature of 0 kelvins.

Temperature As an object heats up, its particles move faster, on average. The average kinetic energy of the particles increases. One way that heat flows is by the transfer of energy in collisions. On average, high-energy particles lose energy. Low-energy particles gain energy. Overall, collisions transfer thermal energy from hot to cold objects.

Thermal Energy What two variables is thermal energy related to? Thermal energy is the total potential and kinetic energy of all the particles in an object. Thermal energy depends on the mass, temperature, and phase (solid, liquid, or gas) of an object.

Thermal Energy Thermal energy depends on mass. A cup of tea and a teapot full of tea can have the same temperature. The average kinetic energy of the particles is the same in the cup and the pot. There is more thermal energy in the teapot because it contains more particles.

Thermal Energy Thermal energy depends on temperature. Compare a cup of hot tea with a cup of cold tea. In both cups, the tea has the same mass and number of particles. The average kinetic energy of particles is higher in the hot tea, so it has greater thermal energy.

Thermal Energy Thermal energy depends on mass and temperature. The tea is at a higher temperature than the lemonade. The lemonade has more thermal energy because it has many more particles.

Thermal Contraction and Expansion What causes thermal expansion? Thermal expansion is an increase in the volume of a material due to a temperature increase. Thermal expansion occurs when particles of matter move farther apart as temperature increases.

Thermal Energy If you take a balloon outside on a cold winter day, it shrinks in a process of thermal contraction. As temperature decreases, the particles that make up the air inside the balloon move more slowly, on average. Slower particles collide less often and exert less force. Gas pressure decreases and the balloon contracts.

Thermal Energy If you bring the balloon inside, it expands. Gases expand more than liquids and liquids usually expand more than solids.

Thermal Energy As temperature increases, the alcohol in a thermometer expands, and its height increases in proportion to the increase in temperature. In an oven thermometer, strips of steel and brass expand at different rates as the coil heats up. The coil unwinds, moving the needle on the temperature scale.

Specific Heat How is a change in temperature related to specific heat? Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius. The lower a material’s specific heat, the more its temperature rises when a given amount of energy is absorbed by a given mass.

Specific Heat When a car is heated by the sun, the temperature of the metal door increases more than the temperature of the plastic bumper. The iron in the door has a lower specific heat than the plastic in the bumper.

Specific Heat

Specific Heat In this formula, heat is in joules, mass is in grams, specific heat is in J/g•°C, and the temperature change is in degrees Celsius.
