what is the zeroth law of thermodynamics
If body A is in thermal equilibrium separately with bodies B and C, then bodies B and C are in thermal equilibrium with eachother
what is thermal contact
when two bodies contact in such a way that they are able to come to thermal equilibrium
what is thermal equilibrium
when two bodies with different temperatures evolve to have the same temperature through thermal contact
what is temperature
a unique degree of hotness assigned to bodies
what is a temperature scale
any property P that changes with hotness
when is a temperature scale well behaved
if the function P(H) is monotonic
