    Study Notes

    Heat vs. Temperature

    • Matter and Thermal Energy: All matter consists of particles constantly vibrating and moving; this movement generates thermal energy.

    • Temperature: Represents the degree of hotness or coldness of an object; measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit. It reflects the speed of particle movement.

    • Heat: The total amount of thermal energy an object possesses; measured in Joules. A larger object with more particles generally holds more thermal energy than a smaller one.

    Temperature Scales

    • Fahrenheit: Developed using saltwater; freezing point of water is 32°F, boiling point is 212°F, absolute zero is -460°F; room temperature is approximately 72°F, and body temperature is approximately 98°F.

    • Celsius: Based on water; freezing point is 0°C, boiling point is 100°C, absolute zero is -273°C; room temperature is approximately 22°C, and body temperature is approximately 37°C.

    • Kelvin: Based on absolute zero (no movement of particles); 0 K represents absolute zero, freezing point of water is 273 K, boiling point of water is 373 K.

    Heat Transfer

    • Conduction: Heat transfer through direct particle contact; examples include touching a hot pan or heat transferring from a warm object to a cold one. High-density materials are good conductors, while low-density materials serve as insulators.

    • Convection: Heat transfer through fluid movement (liquids or gases); heated particles rise – creating currents – while cooler particles sink; responsible for phenomena like hot-air balloons and ocean currents.

    • Radiation: Heat transfer via electromagnetic waves (like sunlight); some radiation is reflected, while some is absorbed and converted to thermal energy. Examples include heat from the sun, heat lamps, and tanning beds.

    Energy Conservation and Applications

    • Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy can't be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed; thermal energy can be converted into other forms, like mechanical energy in various engines.

    • Cooling the Body: In hot weather, human bodies cool through sweat evaporation. Sweat absorbs heat from the skin, carrying it away as it evaporates. Humid air hinders evaporation, making hot, humid days feel hotter.
