Interpretation: The differences among heat, temperature and thermal energy needs to be determined.
Concept introduction: Temperature measures the random motions of the components of a substance. Heat is the flow of energy due to difference in temperature.
Answer to Problem 6A
The major difference between temperature, heat and thermal energy is that temperature is the randomness of the motion of the components of a substance, heat measure the flow of energy and the thermal energy is constituted by the components random motions of the of an object .
Explanation of Solution
Temperature is the measure of the components random motion . Heat is the flow of energy due to the existence of the temperature difference. And the components random motions of an object make up the thermal energy of that object.
Temperature, heat and thermal energy are correlated, but there exist some major differences between the three.
