Document Summary
We will use both metric and english units. 1. 6 km = 1 mile; 1 km = 0. 62 miles. C = ( f - 32) * 5/9. California is about 800 miles long (from oregon to mexico). To convert a change in temperature from one scale to another, you only have to do the multiplication - don t need to add or su(cid:271)tra(cid:272)t. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy in a substance. (how fast the atoms/molecules are moving) Heat: is energy transferred from one object to another because of the temperature difference between them. Water vapor is an invisible gas that becomes visible when it changes into larger liquid or solid particles. This process of transformation is known as a change of state or phase change. The heat energy required/released during a phase change of a substance is called latent heat. At the drop"s surface, water molecules are constantly escaping (evaporating)
