Why isn’t it sufficient to describe temperature as heat density?
In: Physics
Your title is pretty short, but, I think you’ve got it backwards. Heat, or, the amount of energy stored in temperature, is related both to the temperature itself and the amount of mass that is that temperature.
A 1 kg block of lead at 100K has twice as much heat as a .5kg block of lead at 100k.
Please reply if I’m really missing your point and I’ll try to answer your question.
