What are the 2 types of temperature?
Temperature
- Fahrenheit.
- Celsius.
- Kelvin.
Why do two thermometers have different readings?
“Liquid in glass thermometers show different readings for temperatures other than the fixed points because of differing expansion properties. A thermometer which uses a gas gives the same readings regardless of which gas is used”.
Are temperature and heat two different ways to measure the same thing?
In simple terms, heat is the energy transferred from a hotter body to a cooler one, while the temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a substance.
How do you compare two temperatures?
To compare temperatures we read the temperature and the the larger reading will be the warmer temperature. To calculate the difference between two temperatures subtract the smaller temperature from the larger temperature.
What is temperature name the different temperature scales?
THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF TEMPERATURE SCALES = FAHRENHEIT, CELSIUS AND KELVIN.
Which type of thermometer is the most accurate?
rectal thermometers
What type of thermometer is most accurate? Digital oral and rectal thermometers are the most accurate. Rectal thermometers, while they may not be used widely for at-home use, are the better measure of core temperature.
Why do I get two different temperatures in each ear?
Taking temperature in the ear Always take the temperature in the same ear, as the reading in the right ear may differ from that in the left ear. This is a physiological difference which occurs naturally, and is important to keep this in mind when taking a reading.
Are heat and temperature the same explain the difference between the two terms and cite examples?
Heat measures how energy moves or flows. Temperature describes the average kinetic energy of molecules within a material or system and is measured in Celsius (°C), Kelvin(K), Fahrenheit (°F), or Rankine (R). It is a measurable physical property of an object—also known as a state variable.
What happens if two objects of the same temperature come in contact with each?
Heat Transfer, Specific Heat, and Heat Capacity If two objects at different temperatures are brought in contact with each other, energy is transferred from the hotter object (that is, the object with the greater temperature) to the colder (lower temperature) object, until both objects are at the same temperature.
What is the temperature difference between the hottest and the coldest place among the above?
(b) What is the temperature difference between the hottest and the coldest places among the above? Temperature difference = (22o C) ‒ (‒ 8o C) = 30o C.
