When one object is moving faster than another what does that tell us about their temperature?

It shows us that the temp gets hotter


What does kinetic Theory tell us about the effect of temperature on the motion of particles?

The kinetic theory of gasses provides a framework for describing gasses as a large collection of tiny particles in constant random motion. As the temperature of the gas increases, the amount of average kinetic energy per particle increases, meaning that they are essentially moving faster. This faster motion tells us that reactions are more likely to occur because there will be more collisions occurring during any given time, and it is these collisions that allow reactions to occur.


How does temperature relate to the motion of particles?

as temperature increases the so does the motion of particles (meaning, they move faster when hotter) and also move slower when colder until they stop moving at negative -471 degrees aka absolute zero which has never actually been done.Temperature is the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object. So yes, not only is it related to the motion of the molecules, but it is entirely determined by their average speed.


Temperature is defined as a measure of an object's?

Kinetic energy.Which is a measurement of the velocity of the component molecules given by the equation:E=(1/2)mv2As the velocity of the component molecules follow a Normal Distribution solving the above equation for v gives us what is called the Root Mean Square velocity.v=SQRT(2E/m)


Why is an ice cube not compressible?

An ice cube is not compressible as all the particles of ice are already very close to each other. Compression can be imagined as bringing the particles of a substance closer together. Consider a cylindrical container having a piston over its opening and containing steam inside it. If you push the piston down (like in an injection syringe), the steam gets compressed and the particles come closer and the attraction between the particles will increase and thus the steam will form water. If you try to compress it further, and lower the temperature( which reduces the energy of the particles), it will form ice and the particles cannot come any closer to each other. It is just like us humans, if you are hyperactive and energetic and overly active, you cannot just sit in one place and will randomly move about(like steam particles). If you are normally active, you will move about but to a lesser extent(like water particles). but if you are extremely lazy and have very less energy, you will refuse to move about(like ice particles). there is nothing that comes after this. hope this helps! :)

How many particles are there in a cm?

The number of particles in something depend upon what that substance is. A cm is simply a measurement in one dimension only and, by itself, does not tell us enough information to answer how many particles there are. If, for example, you asked how many particles are there in 1cm3 of uranium then an answer could be provided. As this question is posted under maths and not physics, it could be that you have used the word "particles" incorrectly. A cm is equal to 10mm if that is what you wish to know.
