Study Notes
Temperature and Heat
- Temperature measures how hot or cold an object is relative to a standard.
- It results from the kinetic energy of particles within an object.
- Kinetic energy (KE) is calculated using the formula: KE = 1/2 mv².
Energy and Particle Motion
- Not all particles in an object possess the same energy level.
- At 0° Kelvin, known as absolute zero, there is no kinetic energy and all particle motion ceases.
Heat Transfer
- Heat is energy transferred between objects due to a temperature difference.
- Matter contains energy rather than heat itself.
- Heat naturally flows from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature.
Concepts of Thermal Energy
- Thermal energy results from heat flow and is derived from the internal energy of particles.
- Thermal contact refers to heat transfer when two substances are in direct contact.
- Thermal equilibrium occurs when two objects in contact reach the same temperature, and heat transfer ceases.
Internal Energy
- Internal energy is the total of all forms of energy (potential, kinetic, etc.) within a substance.
Measurement of Heat
- Heat transfer can be measured via the temperature change of a known mass of water absorbing heat.
- A calorie is defined as the heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.
- A kilocalorie (Calorie) equals 1000 calories.
- 1 Calorie is equivalent to 4180 joules.
Specific Heat and Molecular Motion
- Specific heat is the heat needed to increase the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.
- When heated, molecules in a substance move faster, while cooling causes them to move slower.
Bimetallic Strip
- A bimetallic strip consists of two strips made from different materials, which expand at different rates.
Water's Unique Properties
- Water exhibits a remarkably high heat capacity, making it efficient in energy storage.
- At 4°C, water experiences the greatest contraction and is at its most dense.
