Temperature is distinguished from heat when we note that whereas temperature is ____________________. A) None of these.B) measured in degrees, heat is measured in units of energy.C) a measure of average translational kinetic energy per molecule, heat is energy that moves from high to low temperature.D) All of these.E) a ratio of energy/molecule, heat is energy in transit.

You go to SS?

The correct answer is D) All of these.

To understand the difference between temperature and heat, let's break down the options:

A) None of these: This is incorrect, as all of the options listed are true.

B) Measured in degrees, heat is measured in units of energy: Temperature is indeed measured in degrees, such as Celsius or Fahrenheit, while heat is measured in units of energy, such as joules or calories.

C) A measure of average translational kinetic energy per molecule, heat is energy that moves from high to low temperature: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance. Heat, on the other hand, is the transfer of energy from one object or substance to another due to a difference in temperature. It moves from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature.

E) A ratio of energy/molecule, heat is energy in transit: Temperature is not a ratio of energy per molecule, but it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Heat, as mentioned earlier, is the energy that is in transit, moving from one place to another due to a temperature difference.

So, the correct option is D) All of these, as all the statements are true and collectively explain the distinction between temperature and heat.
