Physics Course/Heat

Sources of Heat Generally, Heats come from different sources Fire . Chemical Reaction between two flammable or combustible materials Celestial Body's Lights Sun light produce Heat as a Light of hot temperature. Moon Light produce Heat as a Light of Cold Temperature Electric Light Conductors when conduct current will change their body temperatures and release Heat Energy and Light Heat Heat is caused by friction . When rubbing two objects the object bodies will change in temperatures which produces Heat . Temperature Temperature is a measured of Heat denoted as T measured in Degree . There are three system of temperature measurements namely Degree C , Degree F , Degree K {| class="wikitable" width=100% align=center ! System of Measuring Temperature !! Temperature of Freezing Point|| Temperature of Boiling Point || Room Temperature |- |Degree C|| 0o || 100o || 25o |- |Degree F || 32o || 212o || 77o |- |Degree K || 273.16 || 373.16 || 298.16 |- |} Heat and Matters An object when absorbs heat exhibit the followings Change in object's Temperature Change object's state or form Release Heat's Energy in the surrounding as Light When an object absorbs Heat's Energy, it will change its temperature and either expand or shrink itself. For example, Electric wire shrink in the winter and expand in the summer . Thermodynamic Law of Heat Transfer First Law of Thermodynamic When an object absorbs heat's energy it will expand or shrink If an object has a Mass m at the normal temperature of To . When this object absorbs heat's energy it will change its body temperature to T . Therefore the change in temperature of the object is T - To . If the object has an absorption constant of C then Heat Transfer can be calculated as Q = m C (T - To) = m C ΔT Second Law of Thermodynamic Heat transfer from objects that has a high temperature to object that has a low temperture E = 0 When E > 0 When E < 0 When Summary Heat comes from differenct sources namely Fire , Light , Electric or from collision of two objects . Temperature is a measured of Heat denoted as T measured in Degree .
