Chapter-Thermal energy
Temperature
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system.
Temperature is basically, the average kinetic energy in system of atoms or molecules, right? then what does that mean. Well it means that the atomes or particles in a object is moving(in a molecular level) and hence it is moving it has kinetic energy, so when we calculate the average kinetic energy of the entire set of atoms or particles , we get temperature,also, only if the kinetic energy of the entire set of atoms increase, only then the temperature will increase.
How we calculate it
The questions really helped, thanks!
How can a material at a certain temparature have all of its molecules at the same energy?
Can water stay liquid below zero degree celcius?
How thermal energy of an object increase as its temparature increases?
Temperature is a fundamental physical property that describes the degree of hotness or coldness of a system. Temperature is measured in units called degrees,
Why we use the word degree?
