When particles of a gas lose thermal energy do they move slower or faster?

When particles of a gas lose thermal energy, they move slower. This is because temperature and kinetic energy are directly proportional - as thermal energy decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases, leading to slower movement.


What happens to states of matter when you remove thermal energy?

When thermal energy is added the matter goes slower


When you add energy to matter particles move?

faster. and matter then would move slower


Substances with high thermal energy have fast moving particles but depend on mass (amount).?

Yes, substances with high thermal energy have particles that move quickly, but the amount of thermal energy also depends on the mass of the substance. More massive objects may have slower-moving particles than less massive objects with the same thermal energy.

faster. and matter then would move slower


How are changes in thermal energy and state of matter realted?

If the thermal energy is higher, then the particles in the object move faster and want to get away from each other because it is so hot, thus, its a gas. If the thermal energy is lower, then the particles in the object move slower and form a solid shape, like they are huddling together, thus, its a solid. If the thermal energy is right in between the two above, then it is a liquid. A great example is H2O, it is the base measurement of density, when its thermal energy rises, it turns into water vapor, if its thermal energy lowers, it turns to ice.


What happens to the speeds of the particles when thermal conduction is occurring within a solid?

During thermal conduction in a solid, kinetic energy is transferred from faster-moving particles to slower-moving particles. This leads to an overall increase in the speed of slower particles and a decrease in the speed of faster particles, resulting in a more uniform distribution of particle speeds.


Do particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move slowly?

Yes, particles in a cold object have less thermal energy than in a hot object, so they move more slowly. This slower movement contributes to the lower temperature of the object.


What makes things hot or cold?

The thermal energy inside them. The more thermal energy you put in them (e.g. by heating them), the hotter they are going to become, and the stronger the particles that they are made of are going to wobble around. This thermal random motion of particles is called 'Brownian motion'. dunno


How is thermal energy transferred among particles?

Thermal energy is temperature. Temperature is measured as the average kinetic energy of each particle, as a atom is always moving. The faster the atom's movement, the more energy, the higher the temperature. Thus, thermal energy is transferred when a fast moving atom comes into contact with a slower moving one, thus giving it some of its energy, making it move faster, making it hotter.


Is there a way to stop the particles from moving?

If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower. Absolute zero (no particle movement, and no other kind of internal energy) can be approached, but it can't be reached completely.If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower.

When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?

It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
