Describe objects in thermal equilibrium.
They experience no net exchange of heat energy
What does the zeroth law state?
Transitive property in thermal systems: If a = b and b = c, then a =c
What is temperature?
- qualitative measure of how hot or cold an object is
- quantitatively, it's related to the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance
What type of property is temperature? Explain.
- physical property of matter
- related to average KE of particles
- differences in temp determine direction of heat transfer
