32 degrees Fahrenheit and 0 degrees Celsius are equal to
the freezing point of water.
The freezing point of water
32 degrees F and 0 degrees C
Kelvin Scale
Another scale that measures temperature in Kelvins, not degrees. A change of 1 K is equal to a change of 1 degree Celsius. 0 K is called absolute zero and is equal to -273 degrees Celsius.
True or False: Different objects at the same temperature can have different amounts of energy.
True
Temperature
a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object.
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object.
Temperature
True or False: The higher the temperature of an object, the more thermal energy the object has.
True
