Thermal Energy Temperature & Heat Grade 10 Physics - Understanding the Relationship Between Temperature and Kinetic Energy 1
Remember The atoms and molecules that make up matter are in continuous, random motion. Matter in Motion Matter is made of tiny particles—atoms and molecules. Particles are in constant, random motion Faster = More KINETIC energy Particles in hot objects move faster than cooler objects. 2
Thermal Energy Kinetic energy + potential energy of an object = thermal energy of that object. 3
1. Thermal energy relationships a. Depends on temperature, mass, and type of substance b. As temperature increases, so does thermal energy (because the kinetic energy of the particles increased). c. Even if the temperature doesn’t change, the thermal energy of a more massive substance is higher (because it is a total measure of energy). 4
Which beaker of water has more thermal energy? B - same temperature, more mass 200 mL 80ºC A 400 mL 80ºC B 5
Temperature and Heat Are temperature and heat the same? 6
Temperature and Heat Are temperature and heat the same? No, because a spoonful of boiling water (100 o C) will have less thermal (heat) energy …. 7
Temperature and Heat Are temperature and heat the same? No, because a spoonful of boiling water (100 o C) will have less thermal (heat) energy …. … than a beaker of boiling water (at the same temperature). 8
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in a substance. 9
A. Temperature Temperature is measured with a thermometer and can be measured in Kelvin, Celsius, and Fahrenheit Absolute zero-temperature at which particles stop moving 0 o K 10
SI unit for temp. is the Kelvin a. K = C + 273 (50 C = ______K) b. C = K – 273 (50 K = ______C) Example 1 Convert 500 K to celsius : Given, kelvin temperature = 500 K Example 2 Convert 750 K to celsius : Given, kelvin temperature = 750 K 11
Question: Ethyl alcohol boils at 78.5 o C and freezes at -117 o C under a pressure of 1 atm. Convert these temperatures to Kelvin scale. 12
What is absolute zero on the kelvin scale? Although obtaining negative values for temperature on the Celsius scale is perfectly natural, the Kelvin scale has a minimum value of zero. Zero Kelvin is also called absolute zero. It is the point at which no more molecular motion , and there is no chance of lower temperature. Therefore, this implies that the lowest Celsius temperature that can possibly be achieved is equal to minus 273° C. 13
Temperature and Particle Motion 14
Interactive Activity Observe the motion of particles in the simulation at different temperatures. Discuss: - How does particle motion change with temperature? Phet simulation 1 Phet simulation 2 - What happens as temperature approaches absolute zero? 15

Recap and Homework Recap: - Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles. - Temperature measures average kinetic energy. - Absolute zero is the minimum kinetic energy state. Homework: Research a real-world application of temperature and kinetic energy, and prepare a short presentation. 19
Heat a. The Flow of thermal energy from one object to another. b. Heat always flows from warmer to cooler objects. Ice gets warmer while hand gets cooler Cup gets cooler while hand gets warmer 20
Heat The movement of heat from a high temperature to low temperature – when two substances at different temperatures are mixed together, heat flows from the warmer body to the cooler body until they reach the same temperature or equilibrium (Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics – Thermal Equilibrium). 21
Heat transfer only when there is a difference in temperature between to objects 22
How does heat transfer ? Heat transfer by three ways: Conduction Convection Radiation 23
A. How is heat transferred? What type of HEAT TRANSFER is occurring in the pictures? Conduction, convection or radiation? CONDUCTION – The transfer of thermal energy with NO transfer of matter. Occurs because particles that make up matter are in constant motion and have collisions 24
25
26
Heat transfer by convetion Learning objective: Describe the three modes of heat transfer: convection and radiation, Provide examples of each By the end of the lesson: Students can describe the processes of convection and radiation and provide basic examples of each. By explain in writing how a campfire transfers heat through radiation and how a pot of boiling water demonstrates convection. 27
HEAT TRANSFER What type of HEAT TRANSFER is occurring in the pictures? Conduction, convection or radiation? CONVECTION – The transfer of thermal energy when particles of a liquid or gas move from one place to another 28
How convection occur ? • As the water above the flame heats up, • it expands, • becomes less dense, • and is pushed upwards, • while the cooler, more dense water sinks to take its place. 29
Convection Currents Stream of warm moving fluids are called convection currents 30
Applications on convection (The heater) What about the Air conditioner! 31
HEAT TRANSFER Convection currents – in the earth and sun The circular flow of hot and cold creates convection currents 33
HEAT TRANSFER What type of HEAT TRANSFER is occurring in the pictures? Conduction, convection or radiation? RADIATION – The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves (IR) moving through ( vacuum ) space. ALL OBJECTS radiate energy! 34
Radiation Heat radiation is the infra-red radiation 35
Check point Heat transfer by radiation is not possible from human beings to their environment. does not occur from light bulbs - they are too bright. does not require any material between the radiator and the object receiving the radiation. none of the above. 36
Check point Heat transfer by radiation a) is not possible from human beings to their environment. b) does not occur from light bulbs - they are too bright. *c) does not require any material between the radiator and the object receiving the radiation. d) none of the above. 37
Absorption and reflection Absorbtion experiment When an object is heated by an external source of heat by radiation, The amount of heat reflected and absorbed heat radiation ( infrared ) varies according to the color of the surface of the objects. 38
Check point Which object cools fastest at night? a) White rock b) Black soil c) Silver car d) Green grass 39
Check point Which object cools fastest at night? a) White rock *b) Black soil c) Silver car d) Green grass 40
Emission Emission experiment When an object is hotter than surround it radiates infrared ( emits heat ) to the surround. the amount of radiated ( emitted ) heat radiation ( infra-red ) also varies according to the color of the surface . 41
Two objects at the same temperature but different colors will: a) Emit the same radiation b) Emit different radiation c) Absorb the same heat d) Reflect the same light 42
Check point Two objects at the same temperature but different colors will: a) Emit the same radiation *b) Emit different radiation c) Absorb the same heat d) Reflect the same light 43
Factors affect emission • If the surface area of the container increased , the amount of emitted heat radiation will also increase . • If objects have the same temperature and same color but different surface areas , the greater surface area will emit larger amount of heat radiation and cools faster . Black color is good emitter (radiator) of heat radiation (infrared). White color is bad emitter (radiator) heat radiation. 44
Summary Dark and dull surfaces are ________ absorbers and ________ emitters of infra-red radiation. Light and shiny surfaces are ________ absorbers and ________ emitters of infra-red radiation, they are ________ reflectors . 45
Summary Dark and dull surfaces are GOOD absorbers and GOOD emitters of infra-red radiation. Light and shiny surfaces are POOR absorbers and POOR emitters of infra-red radiation, they are GOOD reflectors . 46
Application • A vacuum or Thermos flask keeps hot liquids hot or cold liquids cold • It is very difficult for heat to travel into or out of the flask 47
Preventing losing heat by conduction The flask is made of a double-walled vessel with vacuum between the walls Vacuum is a good insulator so there is no heat conduction between the hot water inside and the cold air outside. Preventing losing heat by radiation Radiation is reduced by plating the walls with silvery color from inside so heat radiation that is emitted from the hot liquid, will reflect back again Preventing losing heat by convection The hot water vapour that rises up by convection is prevented from going out by the stopper, Therefore, the liquid will be hot as long as possible. 48

What is specific heat capacity? This is a measure of how much energy a material can store. It is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a material by 1 o C. It is measured in J/kg o C If we heated these materials for 10 minutes , which would get hottest? copper limestone water http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3CwpfBzF94 55
SHC of different materials The copper became hottest because it has the lowest SHC. The water has the highest SHC as it absorbed the energy without becoming very hot. 82 o C 65 o C 43 o C 56

b. Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material by one degree (C or K). 1) C water = 4184 J / kg C 2) C sand = 664 J / kg C This is why land heats up quickly during the day and cools quickly at night and why water takes longer. 70
71
Heat Transfer from object to surroundings The heat transfer from an object to its surroundings and from the surroundings to an object is equal. One will experience heat loss, one will experience heat gain. H loss = H gain m· T ·C p (object) = Q = m· T ·C p (surroundings) 72

The Transfer of Heat 74
Conductors and Insulators Materials are either conductors or insulators. A conductor transfers thermal energy Ex:metals-silver and steel, tile floors takes heat away from your An insulator does not transfer thermal energy well. Ex: wood, wool, straw, paper 75

The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics If C is initially in thermal equilibrium with both A and B , then A and B are in thermal equilibrium with each other. 78
Linear Thermal Expansion Increasing the temperature of a rod causes it to expand. For moderate changes in temperature, the change in length is given by: 79
1) A metal rod is 2 meters long at 20°C. If its coefficient of linear expansion is 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, find its length when heated to 50°C. 80
Answer ΔL = L₀αΔT = (2)(1.2 × 10⁻⁵)(50 - 20) = 0.00072 m = 0.72 mm. New length = 2.00072 m. 81
2) A glass rod expands by 0.3 mm when heated from 25°C to 75°C. If its original length is 1.5 m, find the coefficient of linear expansion. 82
3) A steel rod has a coefficient of linear expansion of 1.1 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹. If it is 3 m long at 20°C, what is the change in length when heated to 80°C? 84
Answer ΔL = (3)(1.1 × 10⁻⁵)(80 - 20) = 0.00198 m = 1.98 mm. 85
4) If a brass rod expands by 2 mm when heated by 100°C, what would be its expansion if the temperature change were only 50°C? 86
Answer Since expansion is proportional to temperature change: New expansion = (50/100) × 2 = 1 mm. 87
5) A railway track is made of steel rails, each 12 m long at 15°C. If the temperature rises to 45°C, and the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, find the expansion per rail. 88
7) A rod expands from 100 cm to 100.5 cm when heated from 20°C to 120°C. Find the coefficient of linear expansion. 92
Answer α = (0.5) / (100 × 100) = 5 × 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹ 93
9) A bridge made of steel is 500 m long at 10°C. How much will it expand at 40°C if the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹? 94
Answer ΔL = (500)(1.2 × 10⁻⁵)(40 - 10) = 18 cm 95
10) A rod expands by 0.002 m when heated by 100°C. If its original length was 2 m, find its coefficient of linear expansion. 96
12) A rod of unknown material expands by 0.01 m when its temperature increases by 150°C. If its original length was 4 m, determine its coefficient of linear expansion. 98
13) A copper rod of length 2.5 m is heated from 30°C to 200°C. If the coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹, calculate the final length of the rod. 100
Answer ΔL = (2.5)(1.7 × 10⁻⁵)(200 - 30) = 7.225 mm. Final length = 2.507225 m 101
14) A laboratory experiment determines that a metal rod expands by 0.004 m when heated from 25°C to 225°C. The original length was 5 m. Identify the metal using the given table of expansion coefficients. 102
Answer α = (0.004) / (5 × 200) = 4 × 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹. This does not match the listed metals, so it is likely an unknown material. 103
15) A steel pipeline of length 800 m is installed at 15°C. If it is expected to reach a maximum of 45°C, calculate how much expansion should be allowed in the design (coefficient of expansion for steel: 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹). 104
C) A nother application of bimetallic strip Fire alarm 111
Example of Thermal Expansion This railroad track has a gap between segments to allow for thermal expansion. On hot days, the segments expand and fill in the gap. If there were no gaps, the track could buckle under very hot conditions. 112
8) Why do gaps need to be left between railway tracks? 113
Answer To allow for the expansion of metal due to temperature increases. Without these gaps, the rails could bend or break due to thermal expansion. 114
11) A metal wire is stretched tightly between two poles. Explain why it may sag in the summer and become tight in the winter? 115
Answer In summer, the wire expands and sags. In winter, it contracts and becomes tighter. 116
Bridges due to thermal expansion 117 On a hot day concrete bridges expand To solve this problem, we leave small gab at one end and support the other end with rollers.
Concrete due to thermal expansion 118 On a hot day concrete runway sections in airport expands and this cause cracking To solve this problem we leave small gabs between sections.
What is meant by a thermostat? 119 A thermostat is temperature operated electrical switch that uses the expansion properties of a bimetal strip.
Some applications to thermostat in industry 120 electric irons fish tanks home heating/cooling systems Ovens, refrigerators, fire alarms, car flashers
Thermal expansion of solids, liquids and gases 121 The particles in gases and liquids move more freely than in solids, so their volume increases when heated.
Summary 122 Matter expands when heated and contracts when cooled Liquids expand and contract more than solids Gases expand and contract more than liquids
Molecular Basis for Thermal Expansion (1 of 2) We can understand linear expansion if we model the atoms as being held together by springs. When the temperature increases, the average distance between atoms also increases. As the atoms get farther apart, every dimension increases. 123
Molecular Basis for Thermal Expansion (2 of 2) A graph of the “spring” potential energy versus distance between neighboring atoms is not symmetrical. As the energy increases and the atoms oscillate with greater amplitude, the average distance increases. 124
Expanding Holes and Volume Expansion If an object has a hole in it, the hole also expands with the object, as shown. The hole does not shrink . The change in volume due to thermal expansion is given by where β is the coefficient of volume expansion and is equal to 3 α . Video Tutor Solution: Example 17.3 125

Thermal Expansion of Water Between 0 degrees Celsius and 4 degrees Celsius, water decreases in volume with increasing temperature. Because of this anomalous behavior, lakes freeze from the top down instead of from the bottom up. 128
Quantity of Heat (1 of 2) Sir James Joule (1818–1889) studied how water can be warmed by vigorous stirring with a paddle wheel. 129
Quantity of Heat (2 of 2) The same temperature change caused by stirring can also be caused by putting the water in contact with some hotter object. The calorie (abbreviated cal) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water from 14.5 degrees Celsius to 15.5 degrees Celsius. 130
Specific Heat The quantity of heat Q required to increase the temperature of a mass m of a certain material by Δ T is: The specific heat c has different values for different materials. The specific heat of water is approximately 131
Phase Changes The phases (or states) of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. A phase change is a transition from one phase to another. The temperature does not change during a phase change. The latent heat , L , is the heat per unit mass that is transferred in a phase change. 132
Heat Added to Ice at a Constant Rate Video Tutor Solution: Example 17.8 133
Heat of Fusion The metal gallium, shown here melting in a person’s hand, is one of the few elements that melts at room temperature. Its melting temperature is 29.8 degrees Celsius, and its heat of fusion is 134
Heat of Vaporization The water may be warm and it may be a hot day, but these children will feel cold when they first step out of the swimming pool. That’s because as water evaporates from their skin, it removes the heat of vaporization from their bodies. To stay warm, they will need to dry off immediately. 135
Conduction of Heat In conduction, heat flows from a higher to a lower temperature. Consider a solid rod of conducting material with cross-sectional area A and length L . The left end of the rod is kept at a temperature T H and the right end at a lower temperature T C . The rate that heat is transferred is: 136

Energy Conservation in Thermodynamic Processes 1. Introduction to Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and energy. The fundamental concept in thermodynamics is the conservation of energy , which states that: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. 138
2. Principle of Energy Conservation in Thermodynamic Processes Definition The principle of energy conservation states that in any thermodynamic process, the total energy remains constant . Energy may be transferred as heat (Q) or work (W) but the internal energy (U) of the system changes accordingly. 139
Examples of Energy Conservation in Thermodynamics Boiling Water: Heat from a stove transfers energy to the water, increasing its temperature . Car Engine: Chemical energy in fuel is converted into heat and mechanical work. Air Conditioners: Electrical energy is used to remove heat from a room, keeping it cool . 140
3. First Law of Thermodynamics Mathematical Formula : ΔU=Q −W Where : ΔU = Change in internal energy (J) Q = Heat added to the system (J) W = Work done by the system (J) 141
Explanation If heat is added to a system ( +Q ), the internal energy increases . If heat is removed from a system ( -Q ), the internal energy decreases . If work is done on the system ( -W ), the internal energy increases . If work is done by the system on the surroundings ( +W ), the internal energy decreases . 142
Example Situations : Expanding Gas: When a gas expands in a piston, work is done by it on its surroundings, decreasing internal energy . Compressing Gas: When a gas is compressed , work is done on it, increasing internal energy. 143
4. Work and Heat Transfer in Thermodynamics Work (W) Work is done by a system when it expands (gas pushing a piston). Work is done on a system when it is compressed. Measured in Joules (J). Heat (Q) Heat is energy transferred due to temperature difference. Flows from hot to cold. Measured in Joules (J). 144

Free response questions 6. Explain why the first law of thermodynamics is also called the law of energy conservation. 155
6. Explain why the first law of thermodynamics is also called the law of energy conservation. Answer : The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added minus the work done. This aligns with the principle of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. 156
