General Physics
100
This is the most commonly used temperature scale in the United States
Fahrenheit (0F)
100
This is the term used to describe temperature that is 0 Kelvin
Absolute Zero
the lowest theoretical temperature, at which the motion of all particles ceases; the temperature equals 0 K, -273.15 °C, or -459.67 °F.
100
This device is used to measure calories
Calorimeter
A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
200
This temperature is the boiling point of water in degrees Celsius (oC)
100oC
Which is 212oF
200
This is the freezing point of water in degrees Celsius (oC)
Zero (0oC)
In Fahrenheit, the temperature would be 32oF
300
This process is how we describe the transference of thermal energy OR transferring heat from one object to the other
Conduction
the transfer of thermal energy between particles of matter that are touching
300
What measurement (or letter) completes the equation:
? = oC + 273
K - Kelvin
The Kelvin or “Absolute” temperature scale is the scale often used by chemists and physicists. It is based on the temperature at which all molecular motion ceases.
400
This is the invisible fluid that was theorized to be found in heated objects more so than objects that are cold
Caloric
when an object was heated, an invisible fluid called “caloric” was added to the object (first theory)
400
This tool allows us to measure temperature by reaching thermal equilibrium with an object
Thermometer
The liquid inside a thermometer expands to match the temperature of the object
400
As the temperature inside a closed space increases, so does this
Thermal Energy
There is greater thermal energy inside an oven due to its limited space and volume, which is why you don't get burned when the hot air is released from the oven
500
These rays can cause sunburns on our skin in a form of solar radiation
Ultraviolet Rays
500
This is always transferred from an area with a higher temperature to an area with a lower temperature
Thermal Energy
500
Heat transference stops when two objects meet the same temperature, otherwise known as reaching what
Hint:
Thermal equilibrium
