∙ 9y agoThe expression "red hot" came about to describe the "red" color that metal takes on when placed in fire or is "fired". It may have been in use from the earliest days of using fire, which burned orangish-red. It was a phrase likely used by blacksmiths. It was certainly used by any person who saw how bituminous coal burned in coal furnaces at homes and businesses. It was also used in steel mills when coal was used to melt ore and to roll out steel into sheets. At first the molten steel looked like reddish-orange liquid, and as it cooled the sheets took on the gray or gray black color we associate with steel. "Red hot" would be at temperatures hotter than we could or should touch; the hottest temp most people can stand for a very short time is 110F (e.g. the hottest temp for bath water).

When matter absorbs heat what is its temperature?
thee temperature goes higher because when it absorbs heat,the temperature goes hotter :)
Is temperature a form of energy?
Temperature is not a form of energy, but a measurement of energy (specifically, heat energy). You can't add temperature to a substance, because every substance already has a temperature, whether it be at -50o C or 900o C. However, you can add heat to change the temperature.
What does it mean to say that the specific heat capacity of water is greater than that of iron?
Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of an element (a given mass) by a temperature unit.Specific Heat Capacity is the amount of heat in Joulesneeded to heat 1kg of an element by 1 degree Kelvin.Joules per Kilogram KelvinIf the SHC of water is higher than that of iron, it means, you need more heat to increase the temperature of 1kg of water in 1 degree Celsius, than the heat you need to increase the temperature in 1 degree Celsius of the same mass of iron.P.S.A Celsius temperature difference is the same as a Kelvin temperature difference. In measuring SHC, we only need to focus on temperature difference rather than the temperature value. Add 273.15 to the Celsius measurement of the temperature to get the Kelvin temperature value.
Why does the temperature rise as heat is being added when only one phase exists?
I think that the temperature rises when heat is being added because all of the energy has nothing else to focus on so it changes the temperature. Also, adding heat would make the temperature rise.
Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.
How does colour effect heat and temperature?
for me color effect heat is red..because red is a very colorful into your eyes
What is pherkad?
Orange-Red. It is because of the temperature of heat, which is 8,600 Kelvin.
What color is pherkad?
Orange-Red. It is because of the temperature of heat, which is 8,600 Kelvin.
Can heat be an example of temperature?
Temperature is a measurement of heat. Heat is not an example of temperature.
What best describes the relationship between heat and temperature heat and temperature are the same thing heat changes temperature heat is a measure of temperature or temperature measures?
The flow of heat in and out of an object changes its temperature.
What is the difference betwween heat energy and temperature?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature Heat is proportional to temperature and in not equal to temperature. Heat has joule as unit where as temperature has the unit kelvin
What is the past tense of the sentence -'heat the given cylinderical piece to red hot temperature using the forge'?
The verb heat should be modified to heated.
Is heat the temperature of a reaction?
No, heat is an energy where the temperature is not.
How is temperature the same as heat?
Temperature measures heat.
Are temperature and thermal heat the same thing?
No temperature is a specific measurement of heat. Thus at a temperature of absolute zero there is no heat but there is a temperature measurement.
What is the red line on a thermometer?
The red line on a thermometer is the line that indicates what the thermometer is set to. If the red line is on 75, then the heat or the air will run until the temperature in the room gets to 75.
Is their any other word for heat?
Are there any other words for heat? hotness, warmth, warmness, calefaction, calidity, torridity, high temperature, hot wind, heat wave, fever, hot weather, temperature, incandescence, tepidity, incalescence, sultriness, red heat, white heat, torridness, tropical heat, dog days*; see also warmth, weather.
