Today's tip is about temperature vs heat.
They are not the same. Temperature is a measure of the intensity of heat energy. Heat is a measure of the total amount of energy - thermodynamics is the study of heat energy.
Heat = (Mass)(Specific Heat Capacity)(Change in Temperature).
A glass of water and a pool of water may be at the same temperature, but they contain vastly different amounts of heat. It takes much more energy to raise the temperature of a swimming pool 10°C than it does a glass of water - the difference here is the mass, as the equation above illustrates.
Before I wrap this up, I have to say that some might not even see today's tip. I just checked the spam score on this email text (how many spammy words used), it is 2.8 of 5. The reason for this higher-than-usual spam score is the fact that I use the term "energy" in this email. I learn something new everyday!
Until next time, student, keep it up!
