Temperature & Thermal Equilibrium • Concept of temperature rooted in qualitative ideas of “hot” and “cold” based on sense of touch. • Many properties of matter we can measure depend on temperature . • Temperature is also related to 2010 Herbert B. Domingo • Temperature is also related to kinetic energies of molecules of material. • To use temperature as a measure of hotness and coldness, we need to construct a temperature scale .
