What is the total kinetic and potential energy in an object called?
THERMAL ENERGY
The metric SI unit of measurement for temperature
CELSIUS
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of an object?
TEMPERATURE
Determine which has more thermal energy; a full cup of tea at 25 degrees Celsius or a full pot of tea at 25 degrees Celsius AND explain why.
The pot of tea would have more thermal energy since TE is a measure of both kinetic and potential energy whereas Temperature is just a measure of the kinetic energy. Although they both have the same kinetic energy (Temp), the pot has more mass so it has more potential energy giving it more thermal energy
When temperatures between 2 or more substances balance out, heat stops flowing, then the system (or set of systems) is said to be in what?
THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM
