1/15IndietroSkip to main contentIndietroThermal Equilibrium
A state where substances in contact reach identical temperatures, stopping any further thermal energy exchange. Heat Transfer
The movement of thermal energy from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature one until balance is achieved. Temperature
A measure indicating the average kinetic energy of particles, determining the direction of thermal energy flow. Q
A symbol representing the quantity of heat exchanged, assigned a positive or negative value based on energy gain or loss. Negative Q
A value indicating that an object is releasing thermal energy to its surroundings or another substance. Positive Q
A value indicating that an object is absorbing thermal energy from its surroundings or another substance. Mcat
A shorthand for the product of mass, specific heat, and temperature change, used to calculate heat transfer. Ideal Thermal Equilibrium
A scenario where all heat exchange occurs only between two substances, with no energy lost to the environment. Final Temperature
The shared temperature reached by substances in contact after all possible heat transfer has occurred. Hotter Object
A substance initially at a higher temperature, which loses thermal energy during heat exchange. Colder Object
A substance initially at a lower temperature, which gains thermal energy during heat exchange. Physical Contact
A condition required for direct thermal energy exchange between two substances. Heat Lost
The amount of thermal energy released by a substance, typically assigned a negative value. Heat Gained
The amount of thermal energy absorbed by a substance, typically assigned a positive value. Surroundings
Everything external to the system of interest, which may or may not participate in heat exchange.
