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 when a liquid gains thermal energy?
The molecules will begin to oscillate, the more energy they gain the more intense the vibration. when the vibration gets too intense, the water molecule detaches from other water molecules and becomes water vapour.
How might the potential energy of water in a dam be increased?
By filling the dam with more water, because by doing that it gains more gravitational potential energy which is the same as potential energy.
When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?
Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.
Is energy added or is it released when boiling water is changed to steam?
It gains energy because the molecules are spread out more and moving at a greater velocity.
How is potential energy used to generate electricity in a hydroelectric power plant?
Think about what happens in a hydroelectric plant. The potential energy in the water is called 'potential' because the water has a place to go-- down. As the water falls it gains more and more kinetic energy. What is the water made to do before it's released? It passes through huge turbines and it makes the turbines spin. It's the spinning of the turbines that generates electricity. The kinetic energy of the water is converted to electricity.
What happens to the energy level of solid water as it become liquid water?
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
What happens in a reduction?
An element gains one or more electrons
A rolling ball gains more of this kind of energy when it moves faster?
Kinetic energy
What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?
it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge
What happens to the energy used to evaporate water?
It goes into the molecules of water vapour, which are more energetic than those of liquid water
