All molecules are in constant motion. Molecules of a liquid have more freedom of movement than those in a solid. Molecules in a gas have the greatest degree of motion. Heat, temperature and the motion of molecules are all related. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material. Heat is the energy transferred between materials that have different temperatures. Increasing the temperature increases the translational motion of molecules Energy is related to temperature by the relationship: E= kT

What is a measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance?

Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.


What is the name given to the energy possessed by a particle due to its motion?

The energy possessed by a particle due to its motion is called kinetic energy. It depends on the mass of the particle and its velocity.


What is happening to particle motion and thermalheat energy during melting?

What is the measure of energy of motion of particle of matter?

The measure of energy of motion of a particle of matter is called kinetic energy. It is calculated using the formula KE = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2, where mass is the mass of the particle and velocity is its speed.

What are three types of a mechanical wave?

There are three general types of mechanical waves: – Transverse – particle motion is perpendicular to wave motion. – Longitudinal – particle motion is in the same direction as wave motion. – Combined – sea waves.


Difference between rigid body and particle?

The key difference between a particle and a rigid body is that a particle can undergo only translational motion whereas a rigid body can undergo both translational and rotational motion


Why is the motion of one particle in a gas independent of the motion of the other particles?

In an ideal gas, particles are assumed to be point masses with no volume and no intermolecular forces acting between them. Therefore, the motion of one particle is independent of the motion of the other particles because they do not interact with each other. Each particle moves freely and randomly in all directions without influencing the motion of other particles.


3 What factors affect the increase of the centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion?

The centripetal force on a particle in uniform circular motion increases with the speed of the particle and the radius of the circular path. The mass of the particle also affects the centripetal force, as a heavier particle requires a stronger force to keep it moving in a circle at a constant speed.
