    That's a good explanation of the practical meaning of temperature, but more generally the concept can be applied to any system with a Boltzmann distribution of energy, regardless of whether it is made up of "matter", and it can also be generalized into several kinds of "temperature" in the quantum case, e.g. based on the partial derivative of the energy with respect to entropy.

    I have a question hope it's not silly. How exactly is temperature passed from one object to another since they are just kinetic energy of electrons, atoms, and molecules? Meaning someone next to me running around in the room doesn't make me run too.
    Thanks in advance!

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Someone else running around a room doesn't have any effect on how you're moving.......... until they run right into you. That's what's happening on an atomic level with heat and temperature. If the atoms/molecules/particles can pump into each other, then they can exchange the energy. Sometimes they do that by directly touching and sometimes through whatever matter is in-between. If they're not touching and there is no matter in-between, the energy has to be turned into some type of light (usually infrared) and sent that way. Now matter what the method is though, it's about atoms/molecules/particles pumping into each other.

    • @stringsseeds

    Subscribed, thanks for video. One thing I always fail to understand is why ppl of science would use non metric measures. Imperial or US standard is so unhelpful when converting across vitually everything. My perfect temperature is 20°C. I am perfectly aware of it's relationship to freezing, boiling, my ideal body temp and the swimming pool next door. I also can easily translate to weight or volume if needed, all without having to use a calculator.

      Thanks Hehmo for your helpful reply. I understand and certainly, there is a distinction between intent to provide entertainment and public awareness. My point then would be to say that anything related to science is usually to promote a better understanding of the natural world. It is is intuitive to use the most efficient models possible to describe whatever processes are involved and the use of non metric measures does not accomplish that. Thanks again!

    • @Altorin
      @Altorin 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Adrijana Radosevic you need more data to convert weight into volume. They are measurements of two completely different things.
      Weight measures the earth's pull on something's mass. So if you take the weight and remove the influence of gravity you get its mass.
      Then you need to know the density of the substance you're measuring. Some things are heavier then other things. A cubic foot of iron has more mass then a cubic foot of water.
      If you know the density of a substance and you know it's mass you can figure out roughly how much volume that amount of stuff would fill. I say roughly because volumes don't always stack into neat and orderly numbers - take 1 cup of water and pour it into 1 cup of alcohol and mix them together and the result is a little less then 2 cups. Water molecules are small enough to slip between the alcohol molecules so the mixture takes up less space.
      So.. It's complex and is not a function you should be generally concerning yourself with.

    A lot of human perception of temperature is also based on conductivity. Things that are more conductive feel colder to us because hear escapes into and out of it faster.
    It gives us a weird relationship with temperature because the actual number on the thermometer is just a small part of what goes into our perception of temperature.

  • @johannes7110
    @johannes7110 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Im trying to grasp your two videos on pressure and temperature...
    So temperature is the movement of molecules if it does not change the shape of the macroscopic object.
    When we measure temperature with a Hg or alcohol thermometer we use that the liquid expands when the temperature goes up, that is it changes the borders of the object.
    Pressure is the force from the bumps of the molecules going in the direction of the probe?
    you talked about shifting spinning and so on. Can all these movements contribute to temperature and pressure?
    I mean if I measure the expanding of a liquid I have a hard time understanding why spinning could change the borders of an object.
    Also If pressure is the movement of the molecules applying a force to a surface and temperature is the molecules movements why do you get burnt by one and don't feel force and feel force by the other?
    Does it have to do with elastic and non elastic collisions with the surroundings?

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Johannes Almborg
      Ok, so you're right that temperature is the motion of molecules and pressure is those molecules bumping into each other (and walls of containers and so on). These are two completely different ideas though. Yes, the molecules have to move to bump into each other, but it's not the motion /itself/ that creates pressure ...only the force during the bump. Pressure and temperature are sometimes related (one can go up as a /result/ of the other one going up), but that doesn't mean they're the same thing. In fact, sometimes temperature can go up /without/ pressure going up (volume goes up instead).
      We get burnt because *our* molecules can only move so much without chemical changes happening. A burn is a chemical change in your skin due to excess molecular motion. If you touch something hot, it has a lot of molecular motion in it and that can transfer to you through contact. Pressure, on the other hand, is about how hard the molecules are pushing, not how fast they're moving.
      Hope this clears things up.

      An example. You have a gas. what can exist in the gas?
      From what I understand the only thing that can exist is motion of the particles that make up the gas.
      So how do we derive the two man made units pressure and temperature?
      particles can bump in to stuff: like your finger, a surface or a probe.
      if the bump is like a rubber ball (the collision is called elastic) the particle bounce of the surface with the same speed but opposite direction as the particle had when moving towards the surface. This particle gives a force to the surface. We call that pressure. Heat is when the particle that smashes in to the surface like a wet ball of clay(the collision is called non-elastic). The surface is given all the energy of the particle and we precive this energy as heat.
      The thing with this is that you should still experience some sort of pressure from the gas even if the collision is non-elastic. So we can have pressure without heat but not heat without pressure?
      A solid object has some kind of retaining forces that make the particles adhere to become the object. Otherwise the same things apply.
      is this correct?

      Temperature is motion of molecules... hotness and coldness are meaningless... heat is the amount of energy in an object. Temperature is the concentration of the heat.
      You can remove or add heat... you can’t add cold. You lose heat. You put a colder object in proximity to a warmer object it isn’t moving cold to the object, you are moving heat from the warm object to the cold one.

Is it that as one molecule "jiggles" so to does its influence on the electromagnetic field and when it approaches another molecule their individual effects on the field interact? I'm imagining a process similar to how photons were described as causing charges of molecules to wiggle in the Rayleigh scattering video.

    temperature indicates the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. best example is if we have have a drum of water at 30 Celsius and a glass of water at 100Celsius. then we can see that the total kinetic energy of all the molecules in drum is much greater than total kinetic energy of all the molecules in glass of water. but if we look at average energy it is just opposite.

      Molecules don't _have_ to get more crowded to have more pressure. They just have to bump into each other (and the inner surface of whatever container they're in) more often. Getting more crowded is one way they can do that, but it's not the only way.

    @tom_something 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think you were the one who explained this in another video, but since temperature is about kinetic energy, if there's a mixture of more than one type of gas molecule, then when they reach temperature equilibrium, the molecules with less mass will have more speed per molecule than the larger gas molecules. This explains (though incompletely, as I understand it), why lighter gases more easily achieve escape velocity in the upper atmosphere. Really interesting stuff.
    It _is_ kind of weird to think that the intermolecular motion can't be directly translated to making the whole mass move faster or slower, but that's how averages work. Because velocity is squared in calculating KE, the average effective speed is positive. But if we re-added (thing?) direction to the kinetic energy, the whole system would be zero. Plus, we're already used to the idea that rotational momentum can't spontaneously become linear motion (and actually for the same reason: the linear speed is zero when you put all the chunks back together), so maybe it shouldn't be as hard to "let go" of as it seems at first.

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think I might have mentioned it in my Mars video: th-cam.com/video/fU0RN_dC2PY/w-d-xo.html As for the "v" in KE being squared, you're right. If you wanted to account for the direction, you'd need to use linear momentum "p" instead. Adding up all the momentum's you'd get zero because that represents the _total_ momentum of the whole thing (i.e. it's center of mass).

    • @ScienceAsylum

      sagar sharma Well, yes, technically, it's *considered* the hottest temperature, but I'm not sure I'd put it in the same category as absolute zero. Absolute zero is the coldest because there isn't any motion less than no motion. Planck temperature may or may not be a physical limit. It's just that our laws of physics can't explain any temperatures hotter than it... we may just be wrong. Unfortunately, it's kinda tough to test it since that temperature has only existed in the universe once.

    Nice illustration that we don't actually understand what is temperature :) (at least I don't)
    Good point that just naming averages isn't always helpful (and if it can lose meaning then imho that meaning wasn't very accurate in the first place).
    I think in order to understand Temperature better (at quantum level) we should try to observe and analyze exactly those extremes: absolute zero (if it's actually achievable, or at least test it mathematically if no possible in a lab), and how exactly temperature is transferred between objects with temperature difference.
    For example it wasn't that long ago I suddenly realized that if you need material contact to transfer temperature, then in vacuum of space even if "ambient temperature" is about 2°K you wouldn't freeze like you would in extreme cold on Earth (where you're either in water or air environment), or even if considering that vacuum isn't ideal the surrounding particles extreme scarcity would take away your temperature very very slowly ... Well turns out we lose temperature also by infra-red radiation which doesn't require material medium.
    But even if counting infrared radiation you would lose your temperature in space (in much higher temp.difference env.) slower than on Earth (in much lower temp.difference env.) - that's why we use vacuum in thermos bottles.
    Also particles in space might actually increase your temperature just as most of them increase Earth's temperature (well at least high-energy particles like the ones the Sun shoots at us).
    It's a similar question with the decompression expansion in vacuum. Fluids that don't have strong (or none at all) inter-molecular bonds would simply fly-away of rapidly decrease the frequency at which they hit each other. And we know from observation that in such cases temperature loss is very rapid (that how your deodorant gets colder when you use it for a bit longer).
    But this puzzles me - if during the decompression expansion of a gas its molecules are flying away from each other and for that period they hit each other less and less then how is temperature loss so fast?! :/
    Also at these critical limits that many materials change their aggregate state - solid, liquid, gas & plasma we know (again from observation) that the big energy change leads to fast temperature changes.
    To simplify - at most elementary level - we know that why photons have only kinetic energy, they can still change electrons' energy levels, and apparently increase the atoms (and molecules) temperature. But assuming we can for example release (and measure the temperature of) a single hydrogen atom from ISS then how (and how fast) would this atom lose its temperature - or in other terms how it would lose its energy that it had just a moment ago at about 293°K (ie about 20°C in the space station). And have we mapped this energy change to the atom's constituent particles energies?
    Also why do we emit infrared radiation in space (assuming we're warmer than 0°K), I mean why not radio-waves?
    Do these energy-changes of the above H-atom only come in discreet levels - so that for example the H's electron can drop its energy-level with exactly one level; how to protons & neutrons lose energy in vacuum, and so on ...

    • @ScienceAsylum
      @ScienceAsylum  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1. Yes, we do always lose some temperature (thermal energy) by emitting infrared light. However, that process is pretty inefficient. Because of that, a major concern for spaceships is actually _overheating._ th-cam.com/video/9Xs3mGhQGxM/w-d-xo.html
      2. The reason we emit (mostly) infrared light and not some other range on the EM spectrum is because of our temperature. As we cooled off, the peak frequency of that light would change. Eventually, we _could_ get cold enough that we'd emit a different type of light. Like you said, the average temperature of space is a little less than 2 kelvin. That's why we detect microwave/radio light coming from all directions in space. It's called the cosmic microwave background or CMB. th-cam.com/video/3tCMd1ytvWg/w-d-xo.html
      3. Yes, hydrogen's energy levels are discrete (just like any other atom). It can only absorb certain frequencies of light: th-cam.com/video/FQJj2kBJ5A8/w-d-xo.html

  • @polontang7909

    If a body of mass accelerates linearly and speed inceases, the average kinetic energy per molecule increases. Does it mean the temperature of this body of mass increases? My instinct is no but I cannot explain why. From the individual molecule's point of view, the average kinetic energy must have increased. Does the molecule know which part of the kinetic energy is for temperature and which part is for the linear motion?

    If all the molecules in a container are moving in the same direction at a particular speed, let's say running in circles clockwise because of a magnetic field or something, would you measure different temperatures spinning around the container in the same direction and with the same speed and standing still? In case you're spinning and it looks colder than the rest of the room to you, wouldn't you be you seeing a colder object passing energy to a hotter object? Thank you for your awesome videos.

    • @ScienceAsylum

      It's possible that you could measure different temperatures in different places in a container. Temperature gradients are very common. That isn't anything that strange.

      @lanotasballesterosmadrigal1379 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I meant if all the particles in the container are moving in circles clockwise and you're moving "with them", they're not moving for you, so they don't have kinetic energy, so the container is cold from your point of view, colder than the rest of the room, but the static room is getting heat from it, isn't it?

    It's just motion of molecules or atoms about a point. Terms team aperture (tem-perature) explain it well. Closely related terms are phonons, infrared rays, electromagnetic radiation, 🔥heat. About light 🌑, it takes more energy to knock the electron about inside the atoms, so a 100 watt LED visible light lamp won't heat 🔥up the object as much as IR would.

What was the name of this entanglement because the video didn't mention it and they didn't reply to the question. BTW you have a great channel.

      That "experiment" sounds bogus. (1) Individual atoms don't really exhibit temperature. Temperature is a large scale measurement. (2) Entanglement doesn't really work like that. Particles are entangled until measurements are made, then they are no longer entangled.

Or all this works some other way? How exactly termal energy flows from one molecule to another? Don't know answer on any of this questions.
