Thermal Physics

?
Internal Energy
the sum of the random distribution of kinetic and potential energies associated with the molecules of a system
1 of 7
Absolute Zero
the lowest limit for temperature; the temperature at which a substance has minimum internal energy
2 of 7
Ideal Gas
one that has internal energy only in the form of random kinetic energies
3 of 7
Thermal Equilibrium
when two objects are at the same temperature
4 of 7
Specific Heat Capacity
quantity of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by a unit temperature rise
5 of 7
Latent Heat Capacity
quantity of energy per unit mass required to change it from a solid to a liquid at a constant temperature
6 of 7
Boyle's Law
the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted on it, provided the temperature remains constant
