Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics: the study of the effects of work, heat flow, and energy on a system.
Thermal Energy: kinetic energy in transit from one object to another due to temperature difference (Joules)
Temperature: the AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles in an object (Degrees)

Absolute Zero: when all kinetic energy is removed from an object.
Thermal Equilibrium: when touching objects within a system reach the same temperature
When thermal equilibrium is reached, the system loses its ability to do work
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: if two systems are separately found to be in thermal equilibrium with a third system, the first two systems are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
