No. And it is important to understand the difference. Heat is energy. Temperature is a measurement of molecular or atomic velocity. Why they are not the same requires some thinking-- An object can be very high temperature and have little heat. You've probably seen the space shuttle tiles on TV. They glow at thousands of degrees but have little heat (energy). The same is true of ashes used for fire-walking. Insulation generally has properties that might have a high temperature but posess very little heat energy. A very dense material can have a large amount of heat but not be very "hot". Water for example. On the edge of the atmosphere where molecules are far apart and can move very fast, the gas is defined as very high temperature (thousands of degrees!) but has virtually no heat energy.

How are sensible heat and latent heat different in terms of their impact on temperature changes in a substance?

Sensible heat and latent heat are different in how they affect temperature changes in a substance. Sensible heat directly raises or lowers the temperature of a substance when added or removed, while latent heat causes a substance to change its state (such as melting or evaporating) without changing its temperature.


How does specicific heat land?

Specific heat is a property that measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree Celsius or Kelvin. It varies between different materials and is an important factor in determining how substances respond to changes in temperature. Generally, substances with a higher specific heat require more energy to change their temperature, while substances with a lower specific heat heat up faster.


What happens when two objects that have different temperatures touch?

Heat will flow from the object that has the higher temperature, to the one with the lower temperature. This will continue until equilibrium is reached, i.e., both objects have the same temperature.


How is heat different from the temperature of a body?

Heat is the transfer of energy between two bodies due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a body. In other words, heat is the form of energy exchanged between objects, while temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is.


Does pressure rise when heat rises?

Heat and temperature are two different terms. Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. So when the temperature increases then the pressure increases provided the volume remains constant. This is what we call part of Charle's law.

Is temperature different than heat?

Yes, quite different. . . . .Temperature is used to measure heat.


How is heat different from temperature and thermal energy?

It is heat which is measured by a temperature scale.


Can two objects have the same temparature but different heat?

Yes, two objects can have the same temperature but different heat because heat depends not only on temperature but also on the mass and specific heat capacity of the objects. Objects with different masses or specific heat capacities can have different amounts of heat energy even if they are at the same temperature.


What are the trends in heat capacity for different substances as they relate to temperature changes?

The heat capacity of substances generally increases with temperature. This means that as the temperature of a substance rises, it requires more heat energy to increase its temperature by a certain amount. Different substances have different heat capacities, with some materials requiring more heat energy to raise their temperature compared to others.


How are heat and temperture different?

heat is considered a position of higher temperature.... Temperature on the hand is only a measure of a heat condition


Can two body at same temperature have different heat?

Yes, two bodies at the same temperature can have different amounts of heat because heat is a measure of the total thermal energy contained within an object. The amount of heat a body has depends on its mass and specific heat capacity, regardless of its temperature.


Temperature and heat are different but related blank properties?

Temperature and heat are different but related intensive properties. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, while heat is the transfer of energy between systems due to a temperature difference.


Can heat be an example of temperature?

Heat and temperature are related but not the same. Heat refers to the transfer of thermal energy between two objects due to a temperature difference, while temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Heat can cause a change in temperature, but they are different concepts.

How will heat move when two areas are of different temperatures?

Heat will will move from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature


Is temperature and heat the same thing or are they different?

they are different. temperature is the movement of particles. heat is the movement of temperature from place to place. temperature are the moving particles, heat is the movement of those particles from a place to a place.


Why same amount of heat supplied to same amount of different substances does not produce the same increase in temperature?

There is a formula in physics ΔQ=m*c*ΔT, where m is the mass of the substance you are heating, ΔQ is the heat you supply to the substance, c is the specific heat which has a different value for different substances and ΔT is the change in temperature. If your substances are different and they have the same mass then by supplying the same amount of heat the change in temperature will be different.
