Four differences between heat and temperature?
Heat is the amount of total energy contained within an item; both potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy and kinetic energy is moving energy. Temperature is a number that corresponds to the amount of kinetic energy in an object. When heat is introduced into a system, molecules move faster. When molecules move faster, they bump into each other harder and more often. These measure of the energy of these collisions is temperature. So, temperature can result from heat being introduced into an object; that is, heat is energy introduced into a system and one affect heat can have is to increase the temperature. Heat introduced into a system can also cause a phase change; like ice melting into water, with no subesquent speeding up of molecules, and therefore no temperature change. In summary, heat is energy introduced into a system and is a measure of all the energy in an object. Temperature is proportional to the amount of kinetic energy an object has.
How is heat provided in adiabatic process?
First we measured the temperature of the sample and then give certain amount of heat to it. Then we will measure the final temperature and divide amount of heat supplied to increase in temperature, gives the heat capacity of the sample.
In what general direction does heat move?
Heat (thermal energy) will generally move from areas with more heat towards areas with less heat.
What difinition do scientists use for energy?
in terms of science energy can be define as heat energy, kenetic energy etc. Energy is the capacity of a physical system to perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kenetic or mechanical energy, light, electrical, or other forms.
What is the easiest to add energy to matter?
You can raise an object (potential energy), make it move (kinetic energy), or add heat to it (heat energy, a.k.a. thermal energy).
How does heat move within a system?
first it jumps on to the system , then when the system starts to move, heat holds on to system.and thus it moves within the system without falling down.
What makes molecules move faster?
The input of energy into the system. Most of the time, that energy is heat.
Is heat the sum of kinetic energy then what is temperature?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of atoms as they move in and out of a system and its surroundings. Heat is the kenetic energy that is transferred.

What sort of energy allows tectonick plates to move?
Unequal distribution of heat within Earthcause tectonic plates to move.
What must e added to the system to move from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas?
heat energy
What causes heat energy to move to something with less heat energy?
Heat is vibrating molecules. They hit one another and in any material or gas they will hit their neighbors who eventually hit their neighbors and so on until the entire system has come to the same temperature (providing no new source of heat adds more energy or that the system radiates heat as infra red energy).
How is energy expended from the body?
motion and heat--when you move, you are using energy. Body heat also requires energy.
How a convection currents within the earth cause the crust and the continents to move e?
It creates thermal energy and that causes the tectonic plates to move due to high levels of heat.
In what general direction does heat move?
Heat (thermal energy) will generally move from areas with more heat towards areas with less heat.
What causes gas to move?
Heat energy.
