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 is the measure of the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance?
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Is heat energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
Differences between heat and temperature?
heat is a energy and temperature is a measurement . (of how concentrated it is)
Can average kinetic energy be classified as temperature or heat?
Yes. In its simplest, Temperature can be defined as the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance.
What is the energy that is caused by moving particles?
Heat, temperature.
How is the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter affected by change in temperature?
As temperature is increased the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter increases.When temperature decreases the kinetic energy of them decreases. This is because temperature, or rather heat, is itself energy
What does temperature have to do with energy?
no, temperature is one form of energy, heat.
How does heat affects some solids?
Temperature is the measure of kinetic energy of the molecules involved in the solid. If you increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy.
How is the kinetic energy of a constituent particle in any matter affected by a change in temperature?
As temperature is increased the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter increases.When temperature decreases the kinetic energy of them decreases. This is because temperature, or rather heat, is itself energy
What is the sum of all kinetic energy?
Thermal energy is the sum of kinetic energies, while temperature is the average of these kinetic energies.
How does thermal energy relate to heat?
The molecular kinetic energy of a system is directly proportional to the thermodynamic temperature of the system.
