2. Learning Objectives
Temperature and heat
Mechanical equivalent of heat
Students should understand the “mechanical equivalent of
heat” so they can determine how much heat can be produced
by the performance of a specified quantity of mechanical work.
Heat transfer and thermal expansion
Students should understand heat transfer and thermal
expansion, so they can:
Calculate how the flow of heat through a slab of material
is affected by changes in the thickness or area of the slab,
or the temperature difference between the two faces of
the slab.
Analyze what happens to the size and shape of an object
when it is heated.
Analyze qualitatively the effects of conduction, radiation,
and convection in thermal processes.

5. Temperature
A measure of the physical quantity of the thermal
energy held by an object
A measure of the average internal kinetic energy of
the particles
As the particles move faster, they have stronger
collisions.
That energy exchanges rapidly
Think of a bunch of kids in a “bounce house”
6. Temperature Scales
First “Modern” Thermometer is thought to have been
created in 1654
Simply an unmarked tube of liquid that rose and fell
with different temperatures
Late 1600’s Newton first put a scale on it
0 was the freezing point of water
12 was the human body temperature
The English were fascinated with 12 when it
comes to measurement
12 inches=1 ft, 12 oz = 1 lb*, 12 pence = shilling,
12 units = 1 dozen, 12 dozen = 1 gross
7. Fahrenheit Scale
Why 32o
and 212o
?
1701 Ole Rømer used a brine solution for freezing point (0)
Wanted 0o
to be the coldest temperature at which water could
be a liquid
set boiling point of water as 60 on his scale
Daniel Fahrenheit modified Rømer’s scale in 1724
Used Mercury as liquid in device which increased range of
measurements
Used the temperature of the human body as 100 on scale
Adjusted the scale so the melting point and boiling point of
water were whole numbers, and difference was 180.
8. Celsius Scale
First proposed by the Swedish Astronomer Anders Celsius in
1742
He set it up as 100o
as the freezing point and 0o
as boiling
point of distilled water at normal atmospheric pressure
Swedish Botanist Carolus Linnaeus is among many scientist who
switched the direction of the scale around 1744
From 1744 until 1948, called the Centigrade scale
Name changed to Celsius due to conflicts in translations with
measures of angles. (1 centigrade = 1/10,000 of a right angle)
1954 reformatted to directly match Kelvin Scale
Scale based on absolute zero and triple point of pure water
Correctly written as degrees Celsius (capitalization is correct!)
Zero is freezing, 10 is not. 20 is pleasant, 30 is hot.
9. Temperatures are reported in degrees
Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit.
Temperatures changed, on the
other hand, are reported in Celsius
degrees or Fahrenheit degrees:
F

C1 =
Note: I haven’t seen this convention anywhere
other than this textbook.
I don’t think AP recognizes it!
10. “English” vs. SI
Most scientist agree the SI system (yes that’s redundant) is a
superior system of measure
Especially when is comes to conversions due to size
How many inches are in 2.67 miles?
Some still argue about the Temperature scales.
Blame the French on this one
Fahrenheit had ties to England, Celsius to France
Lord Kelvin sealed the debate by “using” Celsius scale as
basis for his absolute scale
But is it better?
Habitable Earth fluctuates from 0 to 100 o
F wouldn’t that fit
the SI’s power of 10 thing?

13. 12.1.1. Three thermometers are used to measure the temperature inside a closed,
insulated box. Thermometer A is calibrated in degrees Fahrenheit,
thermometer B in degrees Celsius, and thermometer C in kelvin. When the
thermometers reach thermal equilibrium with the interior of the box, B reads
−40 °C and C reads 233 K. Which one of the following statements is
necessarily true?
a) Thermometer C should read −233 K.
b) Thermometer A must read –40 °F.
c) If the temperature of the interior of the box is increased until A reads −20 °F,
thermometer B will read −10 °C.
d) Thermometer B should read −77 °C.
e) If the temperature of the interior of the box is increased until C reads 293 K,
thermometer A will read 36 °F.
14. 12.1.2. Unsatisfied with the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature
scales, you decide to create your own. On your temperature
scale, the ice point is 77 °M and the steam point is at 437 °M,
where “M” stands for “my scale.” What temperature on your
scale corresponds to 68 °F?
a) 154 °M
b) 168 °M
c) 140 °M
d) 136 °M
e) 149 °M
16. An Absolute Scale
Proposed by William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin in
1848
Does not use a “o
” as it is an absolute scale
Double the number, double the energy
The zero point is absolute zero
Temperature of zero internal energy
Second point is now defined as triple point of water
Celsius scale was slightly modified so that a change
of 1 o
C is a change of 1 K.
Similar scale developed by William Rankine in 1859
that was based on the Fahrenheit scale.
20. 12.2.1. Unsatisfied with the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales,
you decide to create your own. On your temperature scale, the
ice point is 0.0 °M and the steam point is at 366.1 °M, where
“M” stands for “my scale.” What temperature on your scale
corresponds to 0 K?
a) −273.1 °M
b) −500.0 °M
c) −1000.0 °M
d) −732.4 °M
e) −633.9 °M
22. Thermometers make use of the change in some physical property with temperature.
A property that changes with temperature is called a thermometric property.
Thermometers
23. Thermometers
Early thermometers used water, mercury and alcohol due to their
thermal expansion
“Modern” devices often use other substances/properties
Bimetallic Coil thermometers (old A/C thermostats)
Coiled metal expands and rotates a dial
Infrared Thermometers
Measure the colors of light being produced
Thermocouples
Joined metals produce an electric potential
Thermisters
Electric Resistance depends on temperature
24. 12.3.1. Which one of the following properties is not likely to be used
as a temperature-sensitive property to construct a thermometer?
a) The volume of a liquid increases with increasing temperature.
b) A gas held within a constant volume container exhibits pressure
changes with corresponding temperature changes.
c) The length of a metal rod changes linearly with temperature.
d) The mass of a solid decreases with increasing temperature.
e) The electrical resistance of a wire increases with increasing
temperature.
26. Linear Thermal Expansion
Most objects expand as they rise in temperature
The particles are moving faster
The collisions have more energy
Net force of collisions is outward
Objects therefore tend to expand
28. The length of an object changes when its temperature

with a hold in the center. If the tiled are heated, what happens to the size of the
hole?
The Expansion of Holes
34. A hole in a piece of solid material expands when heated and contracts when
cooled, just as if it were filled with the material that surrounds it.

35. Conceptual Example 7 Expanding Cylinders
Each cylinder is made from a different material.
All three have the same temperature and they
barely fit inside each other.
As the cylinders are heated to the same,

off, while cylinder A becomes tightly wedged
to cylinder B.

47. Heat is energy that flows from a higher-
temperature object to a lower-temperature
object because of a difference in temperatures.
SI Unit of Heat: joule (J)
Definition of Heat
Think diffusion – If a bunch of particles
are randomly moving, their concentration
will tend to spread out until it is even.
The heat that flows from hot to cold
originates in the internal energy of
the hot substance.
It is not correct to say that a substance
contains heat. It contains internal energy.
49. Since Solids and Liquids tend to incompressible with a fixed volume,
the ambient pressure is usually insignificant.
The heat that must be supplied or removed to change the temperature of
a substance is

In a half-hour, a 65-kg jogger can generate 8.0x105

52. Heat Changes in Gases
The value of the specific heat of a gas depends on
whether the pressure or volume is held constant.
This distinction is not important for solids.
This will be discussed in greater detail later in the
unit
53. If there is no heat loss to the surroundings,
the heat lost by the hotter object equals the
heat gained by the cooler ones.
Calorimetry

and contains 0.20 kg of water. Initially, the
water and cup have the same temperature
of 18.0o
C. A 0.040 kg mass of unknown
material is heated to a temperature of
97.0o
C and then added to the water.
After thermal equilibrium is reached, the
temperature of the water, the cup, and the
material is 22.0o
C. Ignoring the small amount
of heat gained by the thermometer, find
the specific heat capacity of the
unknown material.

Suppose you are cooking spaghetti for dinner, and the instructions
say “boil pasta in water for 10 minutes.” To cook spaghetti in an open
