1
Heat & Temperature NOT the same thing
2
Heat (Thermal Energy) Heat (Thermal Energy) is produced from the movement of the particles in a substance. Thermal energy depends on 2 factors: -# of particles -how fast they move (temperature) Solids Have a lower thermal energy b/c their particles don’t move very much Gases Have a higher thermal energy b/c their particles move a lot
3
The effect of # of particles on Thermal Energy/Heat Which will have more thermal energy? a)Many slow moving particles b)Few slow moving particles Answer: A Since they’re both slow moving, more slow moving particles will have more thermal energy (heat) than fewer particles would.
4
Temperature Temperature tells you how fast the particles are moving. At higher temperatures, particles are moving fast Particles move slower at lower temperatures So, Temperature is a measure of heat. Units (°C) solid gas liquid
5
The effect of temperature on Thermal Energy/Heat What will have more thermal energy/heat? a)Particles at 15°C b)Particles at 65°C Answer: B Since particles move faster at higher temperatures, the particles at 65° will have more thermal energy (heat).
6
Heat Heat can be transferred from one area to another The transfer happens from a warm area to a colder area
7
Does an ice cube cool your drink or does the drink warm the ice cube?
