Atoms, molecules and ions are tiny particles that made up matter. Because of the continuous motion of these particles, either bumping into each other or vibrating back and forth, heat is created.

How did observing brownian motion develop a theory about heat and temperature?

Well when you observe brownian motion you can feel the heat and so the theory was developed from the temperature of the heat :) hope I helped


What type of energy is primarily associated with the random motion of the particles in a substance?

Thermal energy is primarily associated with the random motion of particles in a substance. This energy is related to the temperature of the substance and can increase as particles move faster, producing heat.


How is heat energy related to the motion of particles?

i had tis fr homework and i also had this ques.. so i got it rigth so im gonna go ahead and give ya the answer ant the answer is particles transfer heat energy by bumping into each other...thats th answer


What is the measure of the energy of the motion of particles of matter?

heat


How did the Brownian motion develop a theory about heat and temperature?

when heat is added to cold water, the particles starts to move around. The particles now have more energy for motion. The temperature of the water also rises from the movement of the particles.


What is the energy that is caused by moving particles?

Kinetic energy is the energy that results from moving particles. This type of energy is directly related to an object's motion and is influenced by its mass and speed.


Does higher temperature means more heat?

Yes, higher temperature typically means more heat is present. Heat is a form of energy related to the motion of particles, and increasing the temperature of a substance usually increases the amount of heat it contains.


Why heat capacity at constant pressure is greater than heat capacity at constant volume?

The heat capacity of a substance depends on how much heat energy can be stored in the motion of the substance's particles as well as the inter-molecular bond strengths holding the particles in their liquid/solid form. As we are considering the same substance's heat capacity as we change the volume or pressure, we need only consider the heat energy stored in the motion of the particles. Note that this motion can be internal vibrational motion. If the volume is increased there is a growing space and "states" to distribute the heat energy in the particles' motion. The ideal gas law related pressure and volume to temperature : PV = nRT. With it we see that the pressure in inversely proportional to the volume. P = nRT/V Therefore, if we increase the temperature and keep the pressure the same, we can only do this by increasing the volume. As mentioned before, this provides more "breathing room" for the particles to store the heat energy.


Heat energy is the total energy of the motion of particles in an object?

Yes.


Why does the motion of particles affect a thermometer reading?

because the heat is to hot.


How does the transfer of heat to an object affects the motion of the particles?

Is thermal energy the motion of particles?

Yes, thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles. It is related to the kinetic energy of the particles as they move and vibrate.
