Thirty makes it hot

Twenty makes it nice
Ten gives a cool spot
Zero gives us ice.
 Temperature:
Fahrenheit and Celsius
 Temperature vs. Heat
With your neighbor, try to
distinguish between temperature
and heat.
•Let’s think about
Temperature and
Thermal Energy and see
if there is a difference.
 Thermal Energy (Heat) & Temperature
• How would you describe the temperature
of a steaming cup of coffee?

• If you said it is “hot” do you mean:

A) It has high temperature
Or
B) It has a large amount of thermal
energy?
Thermal Energy (Heat) & Temperature
• What are some things that are
hot?
• What are some things that are
cold?
• When do you know when
something is hot or cold?
 Temperature
• Operational Definition: Defined in terms
of how a property is measured.
-Thermometers have a liquid that
when placed in contact with
another body either expands or
contracts.

-To be useful, a thermometer

needs a scale with major and
minor delineations
 Fahrenheit
• 1700 German physicist Gabriel D.
Fahrenheit invented this scale.

TF = TC + 32°

 Celsius
• 1742 Swedish astronomer, Anders
Celsius used a mercury thermometer
and defined his scale in terms of
critical points of pure water.

𝟓
TC = (TF - 32°)

 Kelvin
• 1848, British scientist, William
Thomson Lord Kelvin developed a
scale that relies on the average
kinetic energy of atoms.
CONVERSION

TK = TC + 273
 Temperature

• Temperature in the
basic sense, is a
measurement of hot
and cold.
 Temperature Scales
• Fahrenheit (oF)
*Introduced in 1724
*Defined by 2 fixed points based on the properties of water
(32- freezing point / 212-boiling point)
*First modern thermometer (Hg)
• Celsius (oC)
*Introduced 18 years later (1742)
*Defined by setting freezing point of water to 0o and
boiling point of water to 100o
*Absolute zero in Celsius is -273.15o
• Kelvin (K)
*Introduced 1848
*Zero point set to Absolute Zero
Converting Between Scales
