What is Heat? A brief introduction at the particle level.
Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance, while heat is the flow of kinetic energy.
- 2
Heat always flows from hot to cold objects due to collisions and transfer of kinetic energy between particles.
- 3
When two objects reach the same temperature, they are in equilibrium, meaning the rate of kinetic energy transfer between them is equal.
