What is the SI measure for heat?
|
Joules
|
|
What is the difference between temperature and heat?
|
heat is the measure of energy where as temperature is the measure of the average molecular motion in a substance
|
|
Why is there a minimum but not a maximum temperature?
|
Temperature is determined by the rapid molecular motion of a substance, so it makes sense that the minimum would be when the molecules stopped moving. However, for the maximum the molecules can (theoretically) continually move
