What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
What happens when thermal energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?
thermal equilibrium
What happens to the thermal energy of an object as its temperature rises?
it gains more energy
What happens to thermal energy of an object as it's temperature rises?
it gains more energy
What happens to an object temperature when it loses thermal energy?
Its temperature falls.

What happens to an object temperature when it loses thermal energy?
Its temperature falls.
What happens when a liquid doesn't have thermal energy?
Any object above zero kelvin - in other words, any object - has thermal energy. If you cook down a liquid - reduce its thermal energy - it will sooner or later get cold enough to become a solid.
How does kinetic energy be increased?
The object that the kinetic energy is acting on has to be increased. Like with weight, force, or types of energy like: electricity, thermal, gravitational, electrostatic, elastic, and possibly sound.
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.
What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
What happens to the thermal energy of an object as temperature decreases as it increases?
it decreases because when an object is moving as the temperature decreases the object decreases
What is heat energy or thermal energy?
Heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What happens when energy changes form?
When energy changes form the molecules in the object become more or less densly packed. Thermal energy is also ALWAYS produced.
