You have to do like the water cycle evaporation, where a liquid changes to a gas, condensation, where a gas changes to a liquid or little droplets and precipitation where it rains.

What happens to the thermal energy of a substance during a physical change of state?
it will increase or decrease depending on the states. from solid --> liquid or liquid --> gas it is positive and endothermic, and thermal energy is increasing from liquid --> solid or gas --> liquid it is negative and exothermic, and thermal energy is decreasing
What is the definition of energy transformations?
2. Energy can change from one form to another. This is called an energy conversion or energy transformation. • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can change form, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the total amount of energy stays the same. • In energy transformations, some energy is always lost to the environment as thermal energy. Examples of energy transformations and their uses: · A television changes electrical energy into sound and light energy. · A toaster changes electrical energy into thermal energy and light. · A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy. · A flashlight changes chemical energy from batteries into light energy. · Solar energy is converted into electrical energy using solar panels. · Campfires convert chemical energy stored in wood into thermal energy, which is useful for cooking food and staying warm.
How Is Popcorn Thermal Energy?
because its made using only a heat source and nothing else!
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
What energy change takes place in a solar cell?
The energy change that takes place in a solar cell is known as an electrical change. It converts sunlight's energy into electricity usually using something like a semiconductor.

What can specific heat be used to measure change in?
Specific heat can be used to measure changes in thermal energy by using the equation: Change in thermal energy = mass x Change in temperature x specific heat
How do you control thermal energy?
you can control thermal energy by using all energy
Does a falling objects thermal energy change to kinetic energy?
Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.
What is a sentence using the word thermal energy?
This house uses thermal energy.
What is a sentence using the word thermal?
Thermal energy is basically heat.
How do use the word thermal energy in a sentence?
We studied about Thermal Energy in my Science class. The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules in an object is the thermal energy. Thermal energy is a form of energy that can be used in some places. I think I can save money by using thermal energy from the earth.
Disadvantages of thermal energy?
There are many disadvantages to using thermal energy including the cost. It is very expensive to harvest thermal energy from many feet below Earth's surface.
Does a flashlight use electrical energy or thermal energy?
a flashlight using chemical and gives out electromagentic enery and a little bit of thermal
What is the measuring device for thermal energy?
You can measure thermal energy by using a thermal couple. <ZeldaTutor> or u can use a calorimeter <ZeldaTutor>
Can kinetic energy create thermal energy?
Yes and no. Kinetic is transfered to thermal all the time with friction. Sound and heat (thermal energy) are the usual outcomes. Be careful about using create, as the law of conservation of energy states the energy is transfered not created or destroyed.
How do you measure environmental temperature using a liquid in glass thermometer?
through thermal expansion
