- Internal EnergyThe internal energy of an object is the energy of its atoms or molecules due to their movement and positions.
- TemperatureTemperature is a measure of the degree of hotness of an object.
- Specific Heat CapacityThe Specific heat capacity c of a substance is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance by 1K without a change of state: c…
- Latent HeatWhen a solid is heated, its atoms gain kinetic energy, vibrate more as a result the internal energy of the solid increases.
