TERM 1
heat
DEFINITION 1
heat is energy transferredbetween objects because of a
temperature difference
TERM 2
thermal contact
DEFINITION 2
objects are in thermal contact if heat can flow between them
TERM 3
thermal equilibrium
DEFINITION 3
objects that are are inthermal contact, but have no heat
exchange between them, are said to be in thermal
equilibrium
TERM 4
thermodynamics
DEFINITION 4
the study of physical processes involving the transfer of heat.
TERM 5
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
DEFINITION 5
if objects A and C are inthermal equilibrium with object B,
they are inthermal equilibrium with each other.
