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.
What happens to the amplitude if the wave gains energy?
If a wave gains energy, its amplitude may increase because energy is directly proportional to amplitude. The wave may become more intense or pronounced as a result.
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When matter gains kinetic energy, its particles move faster and have more energy. This can cause an increase in temperature, expansion of the material, or a change in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas).
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.
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 to the thermal energy of an object as its temperature rises?
As an object's temperature rises, its thermal energy increases. This increase in temperature indicates that the particles within the object are moving faster and have more energy. The thermal energy is directly related to the kinetic energy of the particles in the object.
A rolling ball gains more of this kind of energy when it moves faster?
Kinetic energy
What happens to thermal energy of an object as it's temperature rises?
it gains more energy
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 when a solid gains energy?
When a solid gains thermal energy, its atoms and/or molecules begin to move (vibrate) faster and faster as the temperature continues to increase. Eventually, the particles that make up the solid will gain enough thermal energy in order to separate into a liquid through melting or into a gas through sublimation.
Gains and loses heat much more quickly than?
Water gains and loses heat much more quickly than land.
