Key Terms

Thermodynamics
The branch of physics that deals with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

Example: Thermodynamics explains how engines convert heat into work.

Temperature
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

Example: Water freezes at 0°C.

Pressure
The force exerted per unit area.

Example: Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101.3 kPa.

Volume
The amount of space that a substance occupies.

Example: The volume of a cube can be calculated as side³.

Internal Energy
The total energy contained within a system.

Example: Heating a gas increases its internal energy.

Phase Change
The transition of a substance from one state of matter to another.

Example: Melting ice is a phase change from solid to liquid.
