Question | Answer |
---|---|
temperature | the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. |
Fahrenheit scale | the temperature scale on which 32 and 212 are the temperatures at which water freezes and boils; the commonly used scale in the United States. |
Celsius scale | the temperature scale on which zero and 100 are the temperatures at which water freezes and boils; the scale used by most of the world. |
Kelvin scale | the temperature scale on which zero is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter; commonly used in physical science. |
absolute zero | the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from matter. |
thermal energy | the total energy of all of the particles in a substance. |
