is heat/thermal energy?

Answer: Heat is a form of energy.

2. State the S.I unit for energy.

Answer: Joule (J)

3. State how does heat is transferred?

Answer: Heat is transferred from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower
temperature.

4. Explain how does heat transferred occur.

Answer: The hot object contain molecules that have higher kinetic energy relative to
those in cold object. So, kinetic energy is transferred from the molecules in the hot
object to those in cold object.

5. What is temperature?
Answer: It is the measure of the degree of hotness of an object.

6. State the S.I unit for temperature.

Answer: Kelvin (K)

7. State another unit for temperature.

Answer: Degree celcius (C)

8.Write an equation to express to relationship between Kelvin and Degree celcius.

Answer: K = C + 273

9. What is absolute zero temperature?

Answer: It is the lowest possible temperature (-273C)

PART 2: THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM

1. What is thermal equilibrium?

Answer: It is a condition where two objects are in thermal contact, there is no net flow
of heat between them, and have the same final temperature.

2. State whether the following conditions are examples of thermal equilibrium:

Examples: Thermal equilibrium

1. Ice at 0C and water at 0C

2. Ice at 0C and water at 5C

3. Two pieces of iron metal, one at 213C

and one at 245C
