[quote=Dynamics] "Temperature is a measure of the ability of a substance, or more generally of any physical system, to transfer heat energy to another physical system. The higher the temperature of an object is, the greater the tendency of that object to transfer heat."Heat energy. The movement is kinetic energy, so yes, heat is energy.Watch the Vsauce video before criticizing it. YouTube it. [/quote] "A temperature is a numerical measure of hot and cold. Its measurement is by detection of heat radiation, particle velocity, kinetic energy, or most commonly, by the bulk behavior of a thermometric material." "Heating is transfer of energy, from a hotter body to a colder one, other than by work or transfer of matter. It occurs spontaneously whenever a suitable physical pathway exists between the bodies." "Thermal energy is a term sometimes used to refer to the internal energy present in a system in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature." Heat is [i]not[/i] energy. Scientists painstakingly stress that heat is not energy. It is the transfer of Thermal Energy--more accurately, kinetic energy--from one mass to another. I believe Vsauce was talking about thermal energy, but used heat for layman's terms. I'll watch it shortly.
