Heat and temperature are very closely related. However, they are not the same.
Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.
Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy
Temperature is a property of an individual object.
It can be used to measure the degree of heat.
What is heat?
Heat is the energy that is transferred from one body to another due to differences in temperature.
Heat is a flow of energy from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower
temperature.
Heat is the flow of thermal energy,
Heat is transferred between objects,
It is has the ability to do work
Q2
What is temperature?
Temperature is a physical quantity that expresses the coldness and hotness of a body.
Q3
What is the SI unit of temperature?
The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin.
Q4
State true or false: Heat has the ability to do work.
True.
Q5
What is the SI unit of heat?
The SI unit of heat is Joule,
What is the difference between hot and heat?
Heat is the transfer of energy, usually denoted by the letter Q. Hot is used to describe how much
thermal energy an object as. Together we can say hot things tend to transfer energy to cold things
via heat if left alone. This is the Second law of Thermodynamics at work.

What is the relationship between temperature and heat?
Explanation: heat is the total energy of the motion of the molecules inside the object or particle,
whereas Temperature is merely a measure of this energy. The relationship could be, the more
heated an object is there higher the temperature the object will have.
Energy can be stored and transferred. Energy is a conserved quantity.
Temperature and heat are not the same thing:
temperature is a measure of how hot something is
heat is a measure of the thermal energy contained in an object
Temperature is measured in °C, and heat is measured in J. When heat energy is transferred to an
object, its temperature increase depends upon the:
mass of the object
substance the object is made from
amount of energy transferred to the object
For a particular object, the more heat energy transferred to it, the greater its temperature increase.
The thermal capacity of an object is the amount of heat required to change the temperature of the
object by a certain amount. This is measured in joules per Kelvin (J/K). Heating it and dividing
the heat energy used by its temperature change can determine the thermal capacity of a block of
copper.
Temperature and heat are not the same.
The temperature of an object is to do with how hot or cold it is. It is measured indegrees Celsius,
°C, with a thermometer.
Thermal energy is to do with the movement of the particles inside matter.Heating matter makes
the particles vibrate faster or move faster. The hotter the substance, the more its molecules
vibrate or move, so the more they kinetic energy they have. Thermal energy comes from the total
kinetic energy of all the particles.
It is measured in joules, J.
A joulemeter is a device that measures heat energy.
When thermal energy flows, we refer to it as heat energy.
Temperature and heat are not the same thing because:
Temperature is a measure of how hot an object is.
Heat is to do with the total kinetic energy of the particles of an object.
Temperature is measured in °C.
Heat is a form of energy and is measured in J.
A bowl of soup might have a temperature of 75°C. The sea at Portrush has a summer temperature
of 17°C.
The soup is hotter than the sea water because its temperature is higher.The sea has more thermal
energy because the sea contains many more particles than the soup.
Heat energy can flow by conduction, convection or radiation. It always flows from a region of
high temperature to a region of low temperature i.e. from hot to cold.
