Front

What is thermal equilibrium?

Back

Thermal equilibrium is the state in which two objects in contact with each other exchange no heat energy, meaning they are at the same temperature.

What happens to the temperature of an object when it absorbs heat?

Back

The temperature of the object increases.

Front

What is specific heat?

Back

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Front

What is the formula for calculating heat energy?

Back

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Back

Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without the movement of the material itself.
