Why do high speed trains slow down when they pass each other?
in case the speed they are traveling causes them to collide or rock against each other and scrape
A very large truck and a tiny car traveling at the same speed collide head on what is true?
There is no false statement accompanying the question.
How does heat transfer to cups?
Heat transfer to cups (or other solid objects) happens on a molecular level; fast moving hot molecules (perhaps in your hot coffee) collide with slower moving cold molecules (in your cup) and speed them up, giving up some of their own momentum.
What happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid?
The molecules slow down.
What happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form of a liquid?
The molecules slow down.
When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?
Slow down and the temperature drops.

What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?
The temperature and speed remain constant.

The molecules slow down.
What happens to thermal energy if the molicules speed up?
Thermal energy increases when molecules speed up.
What happens if water molecules are speedes up?
If they speed up fast enough, they turn to steam (water vapor).
What happens to the speed of particles when freezing occurs?
When molecules freeze the rate of speed they go at tends to slow down
What happens to the speed of molecules as they absorb heat?
molecules are moving faster and faster so more heat gets absorbed
Why would rising temperature speed up diffusion in a liquid?
Diffusion results from collisions between moving molecules. If the molecules are moving faster, they will collide more frequently. That will make them spread out, or diffuse, more quickly.
