Average speed of air molecules?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
Is it true that temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of a substance?
Almost. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles which constitute the substance. So the temperature of a block of Sodium Chloride is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the sodium and the chlorine ions which constitute the block, but temperature has nothing to do with the kinetic energy of the whole block, which may be dashing through the air at some enormous velocity.
Which had more energy cool or warm air?
Warm air. the temp of air is the measure of kinetic energy the air has.
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in the air?
mean free path and RMS velocity .............................................................GHo$t
What is the relationship between kinetic energy and the temperature?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. Temperatures also measure how kinetic energy is not how hot or cold it is. It's measuring what the amount of kinetic energy there when you throw something in the air and it comes back down.exampleThere is a ball on the top of a book shelf, and there is one on the bottom. Which one has more kinetic energy? The one on the top, because it has more time to fall and it has more kinetic energy.
Do particles in the air have average kinetic energy than particles in the mercury?
It is true.
When particles in the air nove quickly is it warm or cold?
The faster molecules move, the more kinetic energy they have. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy. Therefore, molecules that move more quickly imply warmer air.
Do particle in the air have more average kinetic energy than particle in the mercury?
It is true.
How does the kinetic energy of air inside a balloon to outside air?
the air inside the balloon has more kinetic energy
Is the movement of air from a fan kinetic energy?
If the air is moving, then it has kinetic energy. If the fan is running, then the blade has kinetic energy. Maybe that's where the moving air got its kinetic energy from. If the dog is also walking through the room, then the dog has kinetic energy too, but he probably didn't get his kinetic energy from the fan or the air. On the other hand, a piece of tissue floating through the room could very well have gotten its kinetic energy from the fan, but that kinetic energy had to be carried from the fan to the tissue by the moving air.
Measures how fast air molecules are moving?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
Which is the greater energy the potential energy or kinetic energy?
Typically higher. Consider a gas. The air you breath is made up of billions of particles flying around all over the place. When the air is warm, these particles move faster than if the air was cold. In that sense, temperature is higher if kinetic energy is great.
