Practice Temperature in Physics
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, determining how hot or cold it is.
How 'hot' or 'cold' something is—how fast its molecules are moving on average.
Example 1
easyConvert 37°\text{C} (human body temperature) to Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
Example 2
mediumAt what temperature do the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales read the same value?
Example 3
mediumLiquid nitrogen boils at 77 \text{ K}. What is this temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
Example 4
hardTwo objects are at 200 \text{ K} and 400 \text{ K}. One student says the hotter object is 'twice as hot.' Is this correct? Explain using the concept of absolute temperature and average kinetic energy.
