 Thermal Equilibrium
• 2 objects in thermal contact can exchange heat
energy between them.
• the heat is transferred from the object with
higher temperature to the object with lower
temperature
• when there is no net transfer of heat energy
between objects, the objects are in thermal
equilibrium.
• the objects have same temperature
Principle of expansion and contraction of
matter
• How could I allow the metal
bar to engage the gauge?
• Is there any differences of
level of coloured water in
glass tube if I put the
conical flask in a)
hot water b) ice cube?
• Why do I put the conical
flusk in hot water? Why not
cool water?
 Principle of expansion and contraction in
solid
• Particles in solid vibrate in fixed position. When
solid is heated, the particles vibrate faster and
move further apart from one another.
• The volume become higher because the solid
expands.
• If the solid is cooled, the particles vibrate
slower and move one to one another.
• This cause the volume decrease because the
solid contracts.
 Principle of expansion and contraction in
liquid and gas
• Particles in liquid and gases move freely. When
liquid/gas is heated, the particles move faster and
randomly. The distance between particles
increase.
• The volume become higher because the liquid and
gas expands.
• If the liquid/gas is cooled, the particles move
slower and closer one to one another.
• This cause the volume decrease because the
liquid/gas contracts.
The uses of expansion and contraction of
matter in daily life
Relationship between types of surface of
object, and heat absorption and emission
• Bright colours (silver/white) do not absorb a
lot of heat. Therefore the evaporation of fuel
is reduced.
• The ability of object to absorb or radiate heat
depends on :
– 1. type of surface
– 2. colour of its surface
• When object absorb heats, its temperature
increases
• When object radiates heat, its temperature
decreases
• Dark and dull surfaces are better heat
absorbers and radiators compared to white
and shiny surfaces.
 Heat concept on daily life
• The Green Building Concept : reduce the
effects of rapid development on the
environment and our health.
• It concern on :
– Has high energy efficiency through the usage of
solar energy or renewable energy
– Has good water flow system, air circulation and
lighting
– Uses recycled materials
