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.
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
What is the name for moving energy?
'Moving' energy is called Kinetic energy. Stored energy that is ready to be used is called Potential energy
Why does a particle of lesser mass accelerate more quickly than a particle of greater mass?
the slower one has more energy because it does not use it all moving.

What is The energy and object has because it is moving?
The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
What happens to the speed of a particle as temperature decreases?
The speed of a particle decreases with decreasing temperature. Decreasing temperature is associated with lower energy states, and the particle will have a lower energy state. It will be moving with less kinetic energy.
Is it true that slow-moving objects have more kinetic energy then fast moving objects?
Faster particles have more energy than slower particles, yes.
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma
Is the energy acquired by a body because of its motion is called potential energy?
No, energy created from movement is called Kineticenergy. Potential energy is energy created from no moving sources.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.

What do you call energy if an object is moving?
When an object is moving, it is called kinetic energy.
What uses a protein to move a molecule across a cell membrane without using energy?
Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to move a molecule across the cell membrane without energy.
