What is Temperature?
The term temperature refers to how hot or cold something is. A thermometer is mainly used to measure it in degrees. The average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance is measured by the substance’s temperature. The kinetic energy of a substance’s particles changes in direct proportion to the substance’s temperature, and the opposite is true when the temperature drops. A substance’s behavior and physical characteristics, such as density, melting point, and boiling point, can be influenced by temperature.
How do you compute for Temperature?
There are several ways to convert between the different temperature scales. Here are the formulas for converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin:
To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit:
F = (9/5)C + 32
To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius:
C = (5/9)(F – 32)
To convert from Celsius to Kelvin:
K = C + 273.15
To convert from Kelvin to Celsius:
C = K – 273.15
To convert from Fahrenheit to Kelvin:
K = (5/9)(F – 32) + 273.15
To convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit:
F = (9/5)(K – 273.15) + 32
In these formulas, C is the temperature in degrees Celsius, F is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and K is the temperature in Kelvin.
