Question

Write the differences between heat and temperature.

Answer 1

The hotter an object is, the faster the motion of the molecules inside it. Thus, the heat of an object is the total energy of all the molecular motion inside that object. Temperature, on the other hand, is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the molecules in a substance.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Difference between heat and temperature -

- Heat is form of energy while temperature is measure of hotness/coldness of body.

- Heat corresponds to total kinetic energy of the body while temperature corresponds to average kinetic energy of the body.

- Unit of heat is Joule while that for temperature is Kelvin, ℃.

Thanks for asking. Hope this helps you...
