What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
A characteristic that depend upon the amount of matter in the sample is called?
That would be mass.
What happens to the density of a gas sample collected in a balloon as the sample is heated?
The air becomes less dense as it expands making the balloon appear to self inflate.
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particals in a sample of matter?
temperature
What happens to sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
its particles stop moving around because of loosing kinetic energy. As you know kinetic energy is something that moves around .And particles in sample of matter cool off and stop.
Which property is measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter?
Temperature is the correct answer because temperature measures average kinetic energy.
Why the sugar granules is sample of matter What is the reason?
sugar granules is the sample matter
Is a water is a sample is a sample of matter?
Yes!
What process increases the potential energy of the particles of a sample 1 condensation 2 deposition 3 solidification 4 vaporization?
4. vaporization
Which property is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter?
Temperature is the correct answer because temperature measures average kinetic energy.
What property like volume depends of the size of the sample?
The volume and the mass of sample both depend on the size of the sample.A small sample has small volume and small mass, a big sample has big volumeand big mass. But the ratio of mass to volume is constant for a pure sample ofa substance, no matter what size the sample is. That ratio is called the densityof the substance.
Describe the six forms of energy?
The six main types of energy are:Kinetic energyPotential energyChemical energyThermal energyNuclear energyRadiation energy
