... What's it all about? • We need to understand the properties of matter. • It is far too complicated to start from classical mechanics – there are too many atoms involved in even the simplest of systems. • We have to take averages and understand what the majority are doing. In essence we start by sac ...

... any motion of the material as a whole. If one end of a metal rod is at a higher temperature, then energy will be transferred down the rod toward the colder end because the higher speed particles will collide with the slower ones with a net transfer of energy to the slower ones. For heat transfer bet ...
