HEAT

Heat
Heat is defined as the transfer of energy between two objects. Heat is not an innate property of an object; it is
only used to describe energy passing from one object to another. When particles from an object come into
contact with particles from another object, they hit each other when they vibrate, causing energy and heat to
be transferred between.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat can only be transferred from objects with a high
temperature to objects with a lower temperature, and never the other way around. The SI unit for heat is
Joules. One Joule is defined as the amount of energy it takes to apply a force of one Newton over one meter.
