thermal physics the study of temperature, heat, and how they affect matter quantitative descriptions of thermal phenomena require careful definitions of the concepts of temperature, heat, and internal energy heat leads to changes in internal energy and thus to changes in temperature, which cause the expansion or contraction of matter temperature is commonly associated with how hot or cold an object feels when we touch it while our senses provide us with qualitative indications of tempe...
