28
Thermal Equilibrium When two substances at _______________ temperatures are placed in contact, heat energy will flow from the substance with the _____________ temperature to the substance with the ______________ temperature. This transfer will continue until the objects reach the same _________ _____________ This is called thermal equilibrium different higher lower final temperature
29
Thermal Equilibrium The amount of __________ lost by the ___________ temperature object is equal to the __________ gained by the __________ temperature object The change in the _______________ of the two objects is the same, but one loses that amount of ___________ and the other gains that amount of ______________ energy higher energy lower thermal energy energy energy
30
Thermal Equilibrium The change in the __________________ of the two objects is not necessarily the same, however. Consider the following example: Suppose you poured a glass of 10º C water into a 30º C swimming pool. Would the final temperature of the water be 20º C, less than 20º C, or more than 20º C? Why? temperature
31
Thermal Equilibrium Suppose a hot piece of metal (700º C) were dropped into a large tub of 30º C water.

(Mass) The specific heat of the metal The specific heat of water
32
Thermal Conductivity The rate at which a substance transfers thermal energy is known as thermal conductivity. ________________ are substances that have high conductivities. An example of this would be __________. ________________ are substances that have low conductivities. Some examples of this would be ______________________. Conductors metals Insulators glass, plastic, or rubber
33
Radiation of Thermal Energy
The rate at which a substance radiates thermal energy depends on several factors: ________________________ Color of the object Temperature Surface area Texture of the surface
34
Radiation of Thermal Energy
The ___________ the surface area of an object is, the faster it will radiate thermal energy. Therefore, a rough object will radiate energy ______________ than a smooth object. Objects that are black will radiate thermal energy ______________ than white objects. Objects with a _____________ temperature will radiate energy faster than objects with a ______________ temperature. greater faster faster greater lower

36
Radiation and Thermal Equilibrium
An object in thermal equilibrium is radiating thermal energy __________________ it is absorbing it. Therefore, there is no _________________ ___________________________________. at the same rate that change in the temperature of the object
