Answer 1

a) Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses hot and cold.

b) The most common scales are the Celsius scale (formerly called centigrade, denoted as °C), the Fahrenheit scale (denoted as °F), and the Kelvin scale (denoted as K), the last of which is predominantly used for scientific purposes by conventions of the International System of Units (SI).

c) In thermodynamics, heat is energy in transfer to or from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter.

d) Joule

e) Temperature is measured with a thermometer.

f) The pool has more thermal energy. This is because there is much more water in the pool than the coffee.

g) True

h) False

i)j)k)

l) In a solid, the particles pack together as tightly as possible in a neat and ordered arrangement. The particles are held together too strongly to allow movement from place to place but the particles do vibrate about their position in the structure.

m) In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. The particles are held together too strongly to allow movement from place to place but the particles do vibrate about their position in the structure.

n) In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster.

o) No

p) Specific heat capacity, mass, difference in temperature.
