Title: S8P1.c Describe the movement of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas states.
1S8P1.c Describe the movement of particles in
solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas states.
S8P2.c Compare and contrast the different forms
of energy (heat, light, electricity, mechanical
motion, sound) and their characteristics.
2Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic
energy of the particles in an object.
Which picture has a higher temperature? The one
on the right b/c it has faster moving particles
3The temperature of a substance depends on the
average kinetic energy of all its particles. Its
temperature does not depend on how much of it you
have. Look at the figure below. A pot of tea
and a cup of tea each have a different amount of
tea. But their atoms have the same average
kinetic energy. So, the pot of tea and the cup
of tea are at the same temperature.
4Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of a
substance. (Remember, temperature is the average
kinetic energy). Which would have a higher
temperature? a cup of boiling tea or an
iceberg Which would have a higher thermal energy?
5Thermometers can measure temperature because of a
property called thermal expansion. Thermal
expansion is the increase in volume of a
substance because of an increase in temperature.
As a substances temperature increases, its
particles move faster and spread out.
Absolute Zero gt temperature at which there is no
particle motion
measured as 0 Kelvin (K)
6Heat is the transfer of energy between substances
of different temperatures. Heat always moves
from warm to cool.
