Total kinetic energy of particles in a system.
Average kinetic energy of particles.
State where systems in contact have the same average internal energy.
From high temperature to low temperature systems.
Heat transfer by direct contact between systems.
Heat transfer via electromagnetic waves.
Heat transfer via fluid flow.
Conductors allow heat flow; insulators do not.
They gain kinetic energy and move faster.
The lowest possible temperature, 0 K.
It measures a material's ability to transfer heat.
H = k * A * ΔT / L.
They expand in all directions.
They control heating or cooling devices by curving with temperature changes.
Heat increases with greater temperature differences.
Increased thickness reduces heat flow.
Heat flow also doubles.
0.71 J/s⋅m⋅°C.
Heat and mechanical energy are equivalent.
Heat to raise 1 cm³ of water by 1°C.
Food calories are 1,000 times regular calories.
Heat needed to raise 1 gram by 1°C.
Heat lost by one system equals heat gained by another.
4186 J/kg°C.
They stabilize at a common temperature.
Use Q = mcΔT to find ΔT.
