Answer the following questions in a clear and concise manner showing math work if needed.
1. Define temperature:
2. What is another name for the 1st Law of Thermo? What does it tell you about energy.
3. What is the equation for Kinetic energy and what is the definition of the other type of energy. If not given in notes, look up definition online.
4. State the 2nd Law of Thermo and then explain it with respect to the Kinetic Molecular Theory (i.e. looking at the movement of the particles).
5. What two conditions due you need for absolute zero?
6. Explain the difference between a Relative and Absolute temperature scale. Give one example of each type of scale.( 2013-2014 students do not answer this question)
7. Define entropy and what is the natural law or rule of entropy (hint you want to remember next time you are asked to clean your room). If we have not talked in class about 2nd part of question, yet don't answer that section.
8. Using the 3 laws of thermodynamics, energy is defined. In general, the 1st law tells that energy __________________________, the 2nd law explains _______________________________ of energy and the 3rd law explain _______________________________________ of energy.
