When water freezes to form ice energy is?

When the liquid reaches its boiling point, it changes phase into a gas. The energy is being absorbed into breaking of the interparticular bonds. This is called the latent heat of vaporisation. In a pot of water that is boiling, the water is all at 100 degrees, however, only the water on the surface, or at nucleation sites, is able to change state into a gas. The steam that the water is turning into, is also at 100 degrees.


Can Thermit melt glass?

There are several different thermites- aluminum and iron oxide being the most common. It reaches a temperature of about 2500 degrees Celsius, and glass melts at 1723 C.


What happen to simple pendulum at lowest point of its swing?

At the low point of a swinging pendulum, the type of energy being demonstrated is maximum kinetic energy. It has zero potential energy at this point of the swing.


When water cools to its freezing point does it have to gain energy?

this is tricky, bcoz it depends on the waters initial temperature. water can freeze/melt at 1 degrees C, so u dont need a change of temperature for water 2 change its physical state. if the water is initally at, lets say, 10 degrees c, then no it wont gain energy, infact it will have to release energy (think of energy as being heat, bcoz that is in fact what it is)


How does the heat from the sun reach your bodies?

The Sun's energy reaches Earth in the form of "electromagnetic radiation". Most of the heat is carried by the visible light, but there are other parts of the "spectrum" of radiation involved such as the infra-red. Much of the heat reaches you after being absorbed by the Earth in various ways and given out again. This heat contains a lot more infra-red than direct sunlight.

Why is chemical disequilibrium essential for life?

Chemical reactions need to keep moving in one direction or the other-- either giving off energy, or using it up. If chemical reactions were at equilibrium, no energy is being absorbed nor given off, therefore nothing would happen.


Why do appliances need to transfer energy?

What is potential energy changed to kinetic energy?

Potential energy is when something is about to release its energy. Think of at a rollercoaster when it reaches the top, right before it is about to fall. That is potential energy because it could fall which will release the energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at that moment. For instance, the rollercoaster falling, it is being pulled downwards which is the kinetic energy.

  How does the temperature of water change as it boils?

If you heat water its temperature will increase until it reaches 100 degrees C, at which point it starts to boil. Boiling means it is all changing into a gas. Whilst it is boiling, the temperature remains constant, because the energy is being used to separate the particles instead of making them move faster. Not until the liquid has become gas does the temperature rise again.

What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?

1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.


Why does the temperature at melting water stays at 0 degrees?

Heat is energy. When heating water from solid to liquid, the change in temperature pauses at 0 degrees Celsius because the heat is then being used to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules to form a liquid. When cooling, the energy is being taken from the kinetic energy to convert to creating intermolecular bonds.
