Document Summary
Thermal energy is kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a (cid:395)ua(cid:374)titati(cid:448)e (cid:373)easu(cid:396)e of (cid:862)hot(cid:863) o(cid:396) (cid:862)(cid:272)old. (cid:863) Heat (q) is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures. Historically, energy was measured in units of calories (cal). A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise one gram of water by 1-degree c. the si unit of heat, work, and energy is the joule. A joule (j) is defined as the amount of energy used when a force of 1 newton moves an object 1 meter. We now introduce two concepts useful in describing heat flow and temperature change. The heat capacity (c) of a body of matter is the quantity of heat (q) it absorbs or releases when it experiences a te(cid:373)pe(cid:396)atu(cid:396)e (cid:272)ha(cid:374)ge (cid:894) t) of 1 degree celsius (or equivalently, 1 kelvin):
