    Activity Sheet No. 5 Temperature, Heat, and Expansion

    Uploaded by

    Kirene mae Boniao
    The document discusses the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy, heat transfer between objects in thermal contact, specific heat capacity, and the density of water. It provides explanations for why two liters of boiling water does not have twice the temperature of one liter, why matter contains kinetic energy but not heat, and why a jug of hot water would be better than an iron brick for staying warm in bed.

    REVIEW OF CONCEPTS. Give what is asked in each item and answer it as concise yet well-explained as
    possible.
    1. What is the connection between temperature and kinetic energy?
    - Temperature is related to the random motion of atoms and molecules in substance more specifically, temperature is
    proportional to the average “translation” kinetic energy of molecular motion, motion that carries Molecule from one
    place to another.

    2. Why does 2 liters of boiling water not have twice as great a temperature as 1 liter of boiling water?
    - It is because the average translational kinetic energy per molecule is the same in each.

    3. Why is it incorrect to say that matter contains heat?


    - It is because matter contains molecules kinetic energy and possibly potential energy, not heat.

    4. In terms of differences in temperature between objects in thermal contact, in what direction does heat flow?
    -Heat flows is from the higher temperature substance to the lower temperature substance and it is not necessarily flow
    from a substance with more internal energy to a substance with less internal energy .

    5. What is meant by saying that a thermometer measures its own temperature?


    - When a thermometer is in thermal contact with something whose temperature, energy will flow between the two until
    their temperature are equal and thermal equilibrium is established.

    6. What does it mean to say that a material has a high or low specific heat capacity?
    -If the material has a high value of specific heat capacity it means that it takes more energy (or lower) to raise its
    temperature. A low value means that it does not take very much energy to heat or cool it.

    7. At what temperature is the density of water greatest?


    - At the temperature of 39 °F or 3.98 ° to be exact water is most dense , it is because the molecules in this temperature
    are closest together.

    8. In the old days, on a cold winter night it was common to bring a hot object to bed with you. Which would be better – a
    10-kilogram iron brick or a 10-kilogram jug of hot water at the same temperature?
    - A 10 kilogram jug of hot water is better, because water has a higher specific heat capacity. Water has more thermal
    inertia and it takes a longer time to warm in the hot sunlight and a longer time to cool on a cold night.
