What is specific heat a measure of?
The amount of energy it takes to change the temperature of a substance by a certain amount. How much energy it takes to heat a substance ~APEX
Is temperature an element?
No, temperature is the amount of thermal energy in a given amount of a substance.
What is the law of coversation of energy?
It means that the total amount of energy doesn't increase or decrease over time.
How is temperature and thermal energy different?
Temperature is when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy Thermal is averged together with kinetic engery, and all the others, to make thermal energy
How is heat different from the temperature of a body?
Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance; temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.
What is the total amount of energy a substance contains?
it is thermal energy
What change when the amount of a substance change?
total thermal energy
What changed when the amount of a substance changed?
total thermal energy
What changes when the amount of a substance changes?
total thermal energy
Define internal energy?
Total amount of kinetic energy and potential energy of all the particles in a substance.
What brings thermal energy to the surface?
Thermal energy is the total amount of energy in a substance. A lot of the things could bring it to the "surface"
How does an increase in total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance?
How does an increase in the total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance.
Temperature is not a measurement of the amount of heat?
True! Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.Heat is the total kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. See the difference?For example, if you double the amount of a substance, then you have double the heat energy, but the temperature stays the same.
What is a form of energy caused by increased molecular activity and is a measure of the total energy of the substance?
Kinetic energy is the measure of the total energy of a substance.
Is the average amount of energy of motion in the particles of substance?
The average amount of energy of motion (also known as kinetic energy) in the particles of a substance (atoms and molecules) is measured by the temperature of that substance. More energy will produce a higher temperature.
What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?
The amount of chemical energy a substance has is determined by the types and arrangement of atoms and molecules in that substance. The energy is stored within the chemical bonds between these atoms and molecules. The strength of these bonds and the potential energy stored in them determine the amount of chemical energy.
Does temperature have a higher amount of thermal energy in a substance?
The higher of the temperature of a substance, the more thermal energy it has.
