Is temperature a measure of how much thermal energy an object has?
Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.
What is the measure of how much an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
What is the thermal energy in an object?
Thermal energy is pretty much the heat in an object. However different parts of the object can have different temperatures, so thermal energy is the average of all that. The formula for thermal energy is: q(change in the thermal energy) = m(mass) x c(specific heat (the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of an object 1 K)) x delta t(change in temperature)
How is temperature different from heat?
Temperature is a method of measure used to express (in degrees) the amount of heat present in a substance. Much like weight is a method of measure used to express (in lbs or ozs) density of Matter.
What slows the transfer of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object?
If those two objects are in contact of one another then energy transfer would be rapid. But if those two objects are far apart then energy transfer will be much slower. It is the heat energy that transfers from warmer object to a cooler object.
Temperature is a measure of which property of an object's particles?
Temperature is a measure of the average rate of movements molecules have. How much energy they have. Heat is that movement energy.
Is temperature a measure of how much thermal energy an object has?
Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.
What is differences between heat and temperature?
Heat is thermal energy. Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy of the particles which compose the matter being tested. Temperature is a relative measure of how hot or cold something is measured on a scale. Temperature is a measure of how much heat energy an object has.
Are heat and temperature the same?
No. Temperature is a measure of heat, heat is the actual kinetic energy inside an object. Just like a road is not a foot, water is not a gallon. A saying attributed to the philosophy (or lack) of Zen Buddhism describe it well: 'mistake not the finger pointing for the moon.'No. Heat is the energy stored inside something. Temperature is a measurement of how hot or cold something is. An object's temperature doesn't tell us how much heat energy it has. ~Explainthatstuff~yes.
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
Measure of how much heat energy something contains?
It is measured in joules (J)
What is it called when heat can go from cooler to warmer temperatures?
"heat" can not go from colder to warmer temperatures. Heat is not an object, it's energy. Temperature is simply a measurement of how much heat an object possess.
What is the measure of how much an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
If space is nothing why is it cold?
The temperature of something is a measure of how much heat energy it holds. In space there is no heat held because there is nothing to hold it. There are just random bits of radiation that apply a small amount of heat. Because of this and object will quickly radiate its heat into space and there is nothing to gain heat from to replace it.
What are the similarities and differences between heat and temperature?
Heat is defined as the total kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules that make up a substance.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
What is the thermal energy in an object?
Thermal energy is pretty much the heat in an object. However different parts of the object can have different temperatures, so thermal energy is the average of all that. The formula for thermal energy is: q(change in the thermal energy) = m(mass) x c(specific heat (the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of an object 1 K)) x delta t(change in temperature)
