In this episode you will learn: - To differentiate Temperature (average molecular kinetic energy) from Heat (energy transferred between objects). - The three modes of heat transfer: Conduction (direct contact), Convection (fluid movement), and Radiation (electromagnetic waves). - How to apply the Specific Heat Capacity formula (Q = mcΔT) to solve for heat energy, mass, or temperature change. - The concept of Latent Heat, where temperature remains constant during a phase change (e.g., ice melting). - How Thermal Expansion affects materials, including the counter-intuitive principle that a hole in an object expands upon heating.
