There is no single answer. Electromagnetic energy moves at the speed of light, about 300,000 km/sec. Acoustic energy moves at the speed of sound in whatever medium you are using. Kinetic energy moves with the speed of the moving body. Thermal energy moves through a conducting body at various speeds, depending on how well the material conducts heat. So energy as a general term does not have a specific speed.

How does the average kinetic energy of a gas relate to its temperture?
The kinetic energy of a gas is the speed of motion of the gas molecules. The higher the speed of the molecules, the higher the kinetic energy and the higher the temperature.
Measure of the energy or heat of matter?
The measurement of the energy or heat in matter involves measurement of average speed of atoms and molecules.
What is the average speed of particle motion of substances with a large amount of thermal energy?
20
What increase as the average energy of the motion of the particles of matter increase?
the speed increases
Average speed of air molecules?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
What is a measure of the average motion of the molecules in a substance?
When we heat a substance, the energy absorbed is converted into kinetic energy of the particles in it. The faster the particles in it vibrate, move, collide, etc. the higher the temperatureof a substance.So the expected answer is Temperature
How do you find mean kinetic energy when given only mass and horizontal distance traveled?
You don't have enough information in this case. Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. Speed can be calculated as distance / time - and no time is given, nor is there any other information that allows you to calculate the time. Note that even if time is given, you can calculate the average (mean) speed, but that will only give you a rough idea of the mean kinetic energy. In this problem, if the speed changes a lot, the average kinetic energy (averaged over time) will be greater than in the case of a constant speed. This is because kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
At a given temperature which gas has the lowest average molecular speed?
1/2mv2 its kinetic energy
If you increase the temperature of a gas what happens to the movement of the molecules?
Their average kinetic energy, and hence their speed, increases.
Would you expect the motions of particles in all state of matter to increase or decrease as ths temperature increase?
The general tendency is for the average speed of particles to increase as temperature increases.But please note that temperature can't be DEFINED simply as the average speed; it is more closely related to the average ENERGY per particle. And the energy for each particle depends on the SQUARE of the speed; but it also depends on the mass of the particle.
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
Is average speed the same as speed?
Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time
