For instance, ice skates apply pressure to the ice rink and melt the ice. The water refreezes as soon as the skate removes the pressure. This measures the effectiveness of insulation. The higher the R-value of a material, the greater its insulating capability. Specific Heat is the number of calories needed to raise 1 gram of a substance 1 degree Celsius.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. Temperature is not the same thing as heat. Temperature can be measured in Celsius, Fahrenheit or in Kelvin. Branch of science concerned with the nature of heat and its transformations to mechanical energy. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed.
