What happens to thermal energy in beakers as the water cools down?
Chloe274
due to convection, the movement of energy through a fluid or air, and also the first law of energy conservation, the thermal energy has convects throught the air to cooler regions, therefore cooling the beaker

How does solar power help the earth?
Without our daily fix of solar energy, the Earth would soon approach the temperature of space - not a pleasant prospect. You have to only consider how much it cools down on a single winter night to have your answer. If your question concerns technical systems that usefully convert solar energy to other forms; solar water heating, photo-voltaic energy, etc; then we are at the dawn of using this energy source more usefully. In doing so, we displace other less effective means of doing the same job. Coal fired energy plants would be an example, as are petroleum powered vehicles.
How is gold jewlry made?
it is melted into a form that then cools and the gold jewelry is pulled out
Why were there water droplets inside the jar after burning a candle inside it?
Burning produces carbon dioxide and water; water cools when it reaches the walls and becomes dew.
Why does New England have mild winters?
The ocean cools and heats up slower than land does; therefore, during winter, the ocean is as warm as the land in summer and in summer the water is as warm as the land in winter.
How is nuclear winter created?
Large numbers of high yield nuclear weapons are detonated.This ignites enormous firestorms in many forests.Soot from these firestorms rises into Stratosphere, where it stays for months to years, blocking out sunlight all over the world.Without sunlight the earth cools dramatically.Result: a winter that might last many years before temperatures rise again.
When a substance cools it loses?
thermal energy
When a substances cools it loses what energy to its surrounding?
When a substance cools, it loses thermal energy to its surrounding environment.
When a substance cools it loses what to its surroundings?
Thermal energy
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
What happens to a cup of hot chocolate as it sits on a table?
it cools off and grows bacteria. AND IT HEATS UP THE ROOM BECAUSE OF THERMAL ENERGY
What do you call energy that heats things up and cools things down?
Thermal energy
Does water absorb thermal energy during condensation?
No, water releases thermal energy during condensation. It absorbs thermal energy during evaporation, which is why the evaporation of sweat cools your skin.
What happens to the particles when an object cools?
When an object cools, the particles' kinetic energy transfers back into potential energy, the particles slow down.
What is an example of energy transfer as you drink a hot chocolate?
The distance between it's atoms will decrease.
How does the evaporation of water from your skin cools you on a hot day?
the sweat evaporates, thermal energy stays on your skin, remains cooling
What happens to the particles in a object as it cools?
The vibrational energy of the atoms and molecules reduces.
How does liquid become gas?
When gas cools down it becomes a liquid. (The less thermal energy the slower the molecules move)
