Gas particle collisions are generally modeled to be perfectly elastic (i.e., there is no change in the kinetic energy before and after the collision). This is very close to reality, since the gas particles have little internal structure which can undergo permanent deformation.

What happens to the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance during process condensation?
The average kinetic energy of the particles falls.
What happens to a water particle during precipitation?
During precipitation, a water particle is released from the clouds. This particle can be in the form of a water droplet of rain, sleet, snow, freezing rain or even hail.
Why principle of conservation of kinetic energy is not conserved during inelastic collision?
There is no law of conservation of kinetic energy. The law of conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can be converted to different forms of energy. In inelastic collisions, kinetic energy is often transformed to heat energy, potential energy, and perhaps sound energy
What happens to limestone during the cement mixing process?
the limestone gets crush into tiny particle and joins the othe marterials
What is typically transferred during atomic and molecular collisions?
Energy.
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.

Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.
What happens to vehicles during collisions and the laws that apply?
For every action there is an opposite but equal reaction. An object in motion tends to stay in motion.

What happens during state of change?
Kinetic Energy is gained in the foward changes and lost in the reverse changes of state
What is conserved during collisions?
Linear momentum.

What happens during an energy transformation?
The total amount of energy stays the same.
What is typically transferred during atomic and molecular collisions?
Energy.
What happens to tires in hot weather?
pressure increases with temperature, per the universal gas law This is true, but a better way of putting it is that temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance (in this case particles of a gas) and so as temperature increases, the kinetic energy increases because the two things are directly proportional. As the energy increases, there are more collisions between the gas particles and the inside of the tire, making the pressure increase, which is also why you should check tire pressure before a trip, not during it.
