The temp. at which an object has no kinetic energy, all molecular motion has stopped. -Absolute zero is the zero-point of the kelvin scale: 0 K =-273 degrees Fahrenheit. |
Absolute Zero |
|
|
The average energy of motion of a substance. This is what temperature measures. |
Average Kinetic Energy |
|
|
A temperature scale in which the freezing point of water is 0 degrees and the boiling point is 100 degrees. |
Celcius (degrees celcius) |
|
|
A temperature scale based on the freezing on the freezing point of water is (32 degrees fahrenheit) and the boiling point is (212 degrees fahrenheit). |
Fahrenheit |
|
|
The energy that is transferred from a warm body to a cold body. -Heat flows from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature. |
Heat |
|
|
The unit of measurement on the absolute zero scale. -The temp. in levies is equal to the temp. in degrees celsius + 273. -Kelvin = degrees celsius + 273. -On the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is the zero point. |
Kelvin |
|
|
The energy of motion. |

|
|
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules. -Temperature i the measured in degrees Celsius (degrees C) or Kelvin (K). |
Temperature |
|
|
An instrument for measuring temperature. |
