I. Introduction
A. Purpose: the purpose of this experiment was to determine if the distance between matter effects the time it takes for the matter to reach thermal equilibrium.
B. Hypothesis: If the distance between the matter is decreased then the time it takes for the matter to reach thermal equilibrium will decrease.
C. Science concepts: Temperature- measure of the motion of molecules
Thermal equilibrium- when two pieces of matter are the same temperature
Kinetic energy- energy of motion
Heat- energy that flows from matter of a higher temperature to matter of a lower temperature
In the experiment the time it took for matter to reach thermal equilibrium was measured. The temperature of the water was measured every thirty seconds. The heat was transferred from the hot water, into the air, then to the cold water. When the water reached thermal equilibrium the average kinetic energy per molecule was the same for all the water.
II Procedure:
The materials used were-......
