clip - the real ferenheight story (4).wmvRemember that temperature of something is just the average kinetic energy of the particles that make up that something.
When something feel hot or cold to the touch, you are actually feeling _____?
Define thermal equilibrium.
Heat is the flow of energy from a high temperature to a low temperature. When these temperatures balance out, heat stops flowing, then the system (or set of systems) is said to be in thermal equilibrium.
State the zeroth law of thermodynamics (13.1)
The "zeroth law" states that if two systems are at the same time in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
If A and C are in thermal equilibrium with B, then A is in thermal equilibrium with C. Practically this means that all three are at the same temperature.
