Q

= heat (joules)

Entropy

What is close to absolute zero? Answer with a single words or term.

M

= mass (kg)

C

= specific heat.

Different materials

have different rates of expansion and contraction.

Kelvin scale

- based on the movement of particles.

Energy

What is conserved? Answer with a single words or term.

Hot Air

= fast particle motion.

Cold Air

= slow particle motion.

Celsius Scale

- based on where water freezes and where water boils.

Heat energy

is transferred from one object to another.

Kinetic energy

- associated with movement.
