| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Temperature | a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in matter.pg. 614 in txtbook. |
| Heat | Thermal energy that is transferred from matter at a higher temerature to matter at a lower temperature.pg. 617 in txtbook. |
| Thermal energy | the total potentiial and kinetic energy in the particles of an object.pg. 591 in txtbook. |
| Fahrenheit scale | the temperature scale on which water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees.(also the most commonly used scale in the united states.)pg. 616 in txtbook. |
| Kelvin scale. | the temperature scale on which 0 is the temperature at which no more energy can be removed from the matter. (zero on the kelvin scale is also called absolute zero. and most commonly used in physical science.)pg. 616 in txtbook. |
