key terms
bimetallic strip- two strips of different metal welded together
thermostat- a practical application of bimetallic strip
specific heat capacity- how much heat it takes to heat something up
calorie- the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius
kilo calorie- equals 1000 calories
internal energy- the grand total of all energies
thermal equilibrium- no heat flowing between two objects
heat- the energy that transfers from one to another because of temperature difference
thermal contact- when the energy is flowing from one another they are in a thermal contact state
absolute zero- no temperature so there is no energy flowing
kelvin scale- scales the same as celsius but called Kelvin
Fahrenheit scale- the number 32 designates the temperature at which water is frozen and 212 is where water boils
Celsius scale- the number 0 is assigned to frozen water and 100 is boiling water
temperature- the quantity that tells you ow hot or cold something is
