Measure of average kinetic energy of Measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in a objectthe particles in a object


Particles of objects move randomly and at Particles of objects move randomly and at different speeds, thus, temperature is an different speeds, thus, temperature is an averageaverage

The more kinetic energy the particles of an The more kinetic energy the particles of an object has, the higher the temperature the object has, the higher the temperature the object will be.object will be.

Temperature vs. amount Temperature vs. amount of heat.of heat.

Which beaker has the higher temperature if both are at room temperature?

They are at the same temperature. They are both at room temperature.

Which beaker has the most heat?

The 500 ml beaker. It has more volume.

The amount of heat is determined by both the temperature and the amount of the substance present.

It also takes more energy to heat the 500 ml beaker then the 300 ml beaker to the same temperature.
