Temperature ScalesTemperature Scales
Celsius Celsius water freezes at 0 and boils at water freezes at 0 and boils at 100 degrees100 degrees
Fahrenheit Fahrenheit water freezes at 32 and water freezes at 32 and boils at 212 degrees boils at 212 degrees
Kelvin Kelvin zero is absolute zero zero is absolute zero (-273 degrees C) (-273 degrees C)
HeatHeat
Energy that transfers from one object to Energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature differenceanother due to a temperature difference
Moves from a body of higher heat energy Moves from a body of higher heat energy to a body of lower heat energyto a body of lower heat energy
Flows according to temperature, Flows according to temperature, hot hot cold cold
Energy will flow between objects in Energy will flow between objects in thermal contact until their temperatures thermal contact until their temperatures reach thermal equillibriumreach thermal equillibrium
Specific Heat CapacitySpecific Heat Capacity
Different substances absorb energy in Different substances absorb energy in different waysdifferent ways
Some of the energy absorbed increases Some of the energy absorbed increases the translational speed of molecules, the translational speed of molecules, which in turn produces heatwhich in turn produces heat
Some of the energy absorbed might Some of the energy absorbed might increase the rotation of molecules, or increase the rotation of molecules, or stretch the intermolecular bonds; these stretch the intermolecular bonds; these types of energy do not produce heattypes of energy do not produce heat
Specific Heat CapacitySpecific Heat Capacity
How energy is absorbed by a substance How energy is absorbed by a substance will determine its heat capacity will determine its heat capacity
(i.e. Iron and Water) (i.e. Iron and Water) The specific heat capacity of any The specific heat capacity of any
substance = the amount of heat needed to substance = the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of the raise the temperature of 1 gram of the substance by 1 degree Celsiussubstance by 1 degree Celsius
Thermal ExpansionThermal Expansion
With few exceptions all forms of matter With few exceptions all forms of matter expand when heated and contract when expand when heated and contract when cooledcooled
Expansion of materials due to temperature Expansion of materials due to temperature must be allowed for in the construction of must be allowed for in the construction of structures like roads, bridges, engines, structures like roads, bridges, engines, dental fillings, etc.dental fillings, etc.
Different materials expand at different Different materials expand at different rates rates bimetallic strip bimetallic strip
Transmission of HeatTransmission of Heat
Conduction – heat transferred between Conduction – heat transferred between materials in direct contactmaterials in direct contact
Conductors – materials that transfer Conductors – materials that transfer heat energy wellheat energy well - -
elements with loosest outerelements with loosest outer electrons are best electrons are best - -

Newton’s Law of CoolingNewton’s Law of Cooling
The rate of cooling of an object is The rate of cooling of an object is approximately proportional to the approximately proportional to the temperature difference between the object temperature difference between the object and its surroundings.and its surroundings.
The Greenhouse EffectThe Greenhouse Effect
Terrestrial Radiation – long wave radiation Terrestrial Radiation – long wave radiation emitted by earth into outer spaceemitted by earth into outer space
Solar Radiation – short wave radiation Solar Radiation – short wave radiation emitted by the sunemitted by the sun
The greenhouse effect is a result of the The greenhouse effect is a result of the atmosphere’s inability to release our atmosphere’s inability to release our terrestrial radiationterrestrial radiation
