What happens to thermal energy if the molicules speed up?
If molecules speed up, they gain kinetic energy which increases the thermal energy of the substance. This causes the temperature of the substance to rise since thermal energy is directly related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
Are speed skates hockey skates or figure skates the longest?
Speed Skates have the longest blade.
What is faster speed skates or hockey skates?
speed
What are the differences between speed skates and figure skates?
The speed skates have longer blades
Can you skate faster on hockey skates or speed skates?
Speed skates are designed to fast. The skates are designed with alot of aerdynamics , but must be comfortable to. The answer is speed skates because they have longer blades making turning sharp harder but holding a fast speed easier and in more control.
Who do speed skaters and figure-skaters wear different kinds of skates?
They're used for different purposes-- figure skates for jumps and spins and speed skates for speed.
When a boy was skating kinetic energy was doing what?
When the boy was skating, kinetic energy was being converted from his potential energy into the energy of motion required for the skating movement. The kinetic energy of the boy was directly proportional to his speed and mass while he was moving on the skates.
How do atoms in a liquid transfer heat to nearby atoms?
On a molecular scale, thermal energy is the kinetic energy of individual particles. In a liquid, this thermal energy is transferred to nearby atoms by collisions; a high-speed particle in the liquid collides with a lower-speed particle, transferring some kinetic energy from the high-speed particle to the low-speed particle. When this happens with a large number of particles, thermal energy transfer results.
What happens if you remove thermal energy from a liquid?
If thermal energy is removed from a liquid, its temperature will decrease, causing it to eventually solidify if enough thermal energy is removed. The speed at which this occurs depends on the specific properties of the liquid.
When particles of an object move faster its thermal energy increases?
Yes, as particles of an object move faster, their kinetic energy increases, leading to an increase in thermal energy. Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles in an object; therefore, an increase in particle speed results in a higher thermal energy.
When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?
Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.
If thermal energy is added to matter do the particles move slower?
No - they speed up
