Practice: Which of the following containers would have the greatest flow of thermal energy in the form of heat?
Temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold a substance is based on its kinetic energy.
Concept #1: Energy
Example #1: From the image provided below, determine which part of the cubes represent temperature and which part represents heat.
Practice: Which of the following containers would have the greatest flow of thermal energy in the form of heat?
Concept #2: Temperature Conversions
Example #2: One of the hottest recorded days in the country was 128 ºF in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. If the melting point of phosphorus is 44.15 ºC, would it exist as a solid or liquid on this extremely hot day?
Practice: At what temperature is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit equal to the temperature in degrees Celsius?
