How is heat transferred from one place to another?
Conduction, convection, evaporation, radiation
What is the most common substance used in a glass fever thermometer to measure temperature?
Mercury
Which type of thermometer involves the expansion of liquid to measure temperature?

What is the main difference between heat and temperature?
Heat depends on the size or mass of the substance, while temperature does not.
Why do we use physical properties that change with temperature to measure temperature indirectly?
Because direct measurement of temperature is complex and not accurate.
How does the Fahrenheit scale differ from the Celsius scale in terms of water boiling point?
Water boils at 212oF on the Fahrenheit scale and 100oC on the Celsius scale.
Which temperature scale has the same degree intervals as the Celsius scale?

Learn the distinction between heat and temperature, where heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance, and temperature is related to the kinetic energy of molecules. Explore how heat energy is influenced by the number of particles, while temperature remains independent of the object's size or type.
