What happens if the particle of two substances have the same average kinetic energy?
the specific heats of the substances are identical the particels will not react chemically the substances have equal theraml energies the substances have equal temps hop it helped sorry if it didnt
Is leaving bottled water in your hot car bad for you?
Yes. Germs get into it, and the plastic melts into the water throw the bottle away. Yes, As the plastic heats, it released toxic chemicals into the water. See the Related Links.
What can cause death a current or a voltage?
Current causes harm by its heating effects. The flow of electrons heats the conductor - which might be your body - and if it heats it enough the molecules break down and you are cooked. Voltage is harmless. Static electricity generated by (for example) rubbing your shoes on a carpet can amount to thousands of volts, but does no harm. Do not touch electrical conductors regardless of their voltage - they are harmful.
Does a tin pan heat water faster than a plastic pan?
Tin is a type of metal. Metal absorbs heat faster than plastic. Thos can be proven if u take a metal spoon and a plastic spoon into the sun. The metal one heats up faster. This is the same for everything else including pans..... hope this helped... XD
What heats up faster solid or gas?
Conductible metals are one of the best conductors, such as copper, silver, and gold. Aluminium is also a good conductor. All of these conduct heat better than a gas.
What is a better word for heats?

Which heats up faster canned soda or bottled soda?
Canned Soda heats up quicker because of the heat conductivity of the aluminum and the carbonation of the soda. Glass bottles are not as good conductors of heat and the boiling temperature of water is high.
Is the radiator on a 94 Chevy lumina plastic or metal plastic or metal?
cars don't have plastic radiators, if they do the plastic would probably melt, and the compound of metal cools and heats quickly which is useful in cooling water.
