Temperature- the quantity that tells how hot or cold something is compared with a standard.
Celsius scale- 0 to 100 degrees
Fahrenheit scale- 32-312 degrees scale
Fahrenheit scale- 32-312 degrees scale
Kelvin scale- its degrees are the same size as the Celsius degree and are called "kelvins"
Absolute zero- a substance that has no kinetic energy to give up
Heat- the energy thats transfers from one object to another bacause of a temperature difference between them
Thermal Contact- when heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with
Thermal Equilibrium-after objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heats flow between them
_internal energy- the grand total of all energies inside a substance
Calorie- the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of by 1C
Kilocalorie- 1000 calories
Specific heat capacity- when water absorbs more heat per gram than iron for the same change in temperature.
