Depends on the container of the "air particles" and what you mean by "what happens."

If it is inside a container that can not expand, then the pressure increases. If it is inside a container that can expand (or is just atmospheric air) then the volume increases. (Pressure * Volume = n * R * change in temperature)

On the atomic level, the atoms or molecules (depending on the gas) begin to move more quickly as their kinetic energy increases.

The movement of air particles will increase as they are heated up. The movement will decrease as they are cooled down.

What happens to particles as they cool?

No matter whether there is limited energy, particles are still moving. When they are heated, they move very fast and rapidly. When they are cooled, they tend to slow down and move slower. That is because heat is energy adn when something is cooled, they lose their heat, basically, they lose their energy and particles move slow.


Why can you cool a cup of hot water by swirling the cup?

because you are allowing more of it to be exposed to water. it is called heat transfer. while the oxygen is much cooler than the cup itself, it will cool the cup. this happens without stirring, but with stirring, you are increasing the "surface area" (the parts that are at the bottom are being exposed) which speeds up the process. give me trust point? (:


Why are covection currents needed?

Geologists believe that covection currents are what causes continental drift. If covection currents never happened and their force didnt move the continents then we'd all live on one large super continent.


What would happen if an aerosol can was thrown into a hot fireplace or oven?

The particles of the gas will heat up, move faster and collide with each other more, increasing the pressure and the can will explode.


How does heat conduction work?

When energy is transfered to something which conducts heat, the particles in the solid object start to vibrate. As more energy is transfered to the particles, it spreads across the solid objects particles. The hotter the solid, the more it's particles vibrate.

Why does water heat up and cool down slowly?

Because the particles, when they heat up, they vibrate and heat up, and when they stop heating up, well, it takes them a while to stop vibrating, and cool down.


What happen s to particles as they slow down?

They get colder, and start to lose heat.


Why coolers are placed at top of the room?

As heat particles rise the cool particles work their way down through them thus cooling the room!


When somthing is heated how does it cool down?

when something is heated the particles are moving very fast and then has it cools down (and heat releases into the air) particles begin to slow down, which means theyre cooling down.


Why ice is cool?

Ice is cool because they particles are slowing down, causing the to give off less kinetic energy, and therefore less heat


Why does cool air rises?

Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).


Which type of heat transfer can happen even if there are no particles of matter?

Heat Radiation does not need a medium (particles of matter).

What happens when you heat and cool air?

When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.


Will large particles cool water quicker than small particles?

If you have a handful of cold particles, and you want to toss them into a glassof water in order to cool it, then it'll happen faster if the particles are small.That way, there is more cold surface area in contact with the water toconduct heat out of it, and all of this is the main reason why the bartenderuses crushed ice in most drinks.


When a hot object touches a cool object the particles in the hot object cause the particles in the cool object to?

It causes it to vibrate which causes it to heat up


How does removing heat from a material change the motion of it's particles?

the particles slow down. hope this helps! :)
