• Temperature
• Thermal Energy
• Heat
 Temperature
• Degree of hotness or coldness of an object
• Measure of the AVERAGE molecular
kinetic energy of the particles on a sample

• Scales:
Celsius (oC),
Farenheit (oF),
Kelvin (K)
 Thermal Energy
• a.k.a. Internal energy
• the total of all the kinetic and potential
energy of all the particles in a substance.
• Dependent on an object’s
‒ mass
‒ Temperature
‒ phase
 Heat
• Thermal energy that flows from one object to
another because of a difference in
temperatures
–THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM - If no thermal
energy flows when two objects touch
– temperature of objects are the same
• Symbol: Q
• Unit: Joules (J) or Calorie (cal)
 HEAT TRANSFER
1. Conduction
– occurs via collisions between atoms and
molecules in the substance
2. Convection
– the flow of heat through a bulk, macroscopic
movement of matter from a hot region to a cool
region
3. Radiation
– the transfer of heat energy through EM waves
 Homework
• Explain how Breezes (Sea Breeze and Land
Breeze) occur.
• Why are telephone and power lines allowed
to sag when installed?
