When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.

What happens to matter to when you add thermal energy?

when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.


When you add energy to matter What happens?

when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.


What is the easiest to add energy to matter?

You can raise an object (potential energy), make it move (kinetic energy), or add heat to it (heat energy, a.k.a. thermal energy).


Can the state of matter change when you add or take away energy?

Yes, particularly if you add thermal energy. At its least energetic, matter is in the solid state. Add some more energy, it transitions to the liquid state. Then more and it's a gas. Finally, at its most energetic, it is in the plasma state.


When you add thermal energy to a system what will happens to the kinetic energy of the molecules within the system?

if you add a thermal energy to a system then it will happens nothing because u dont no anything


Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?

Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.


What makes matter change forms?

Any type of reaction, really. You could add heat or remove heat (thermal energy) to cause the matter to change phase. Also pressure can compress the matter into a new form.


What do you add or subtracting to change a state of matter?

You add or subtract heat. An example is ice turns to water(solid to liquid) then water to stem are water vapor(liquid to gas)


If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?

# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)


When you add energy to matter the particles move and the matter?

faster


How does heat differ from thermal energy?

When you add energy to matter the particles move vibrate and the matter?
