How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?
When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.
Scientists classify everything in the universe as either A light energy or heat energy B potential or kinetic C atoms or molecules D matter or energy?
atoms or molecules
Is a gallon of gas potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?
it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.
What is mechanical energy the sum of?
Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind ofnonthermal energy or thermal energy.For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring orsomething similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.
IS Thermal energy is kinetic energy or potential energy?
Thermal energy in a substance is kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the substance.
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is know as?
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is thermal energy.
What is the measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance?
temperature is the average kinetic energy of a particle
Type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving?
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
What cause kinetic energy to increase?
Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. This differentiates it from *heat,* a different term, which is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules. As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases (which makes sense, if you're putting more energy into a system, you're probably going to have more total energy).
The kinetic and potential energy of particles of a substance?
kenetic energy
All the molecules of a substance possess the average kinetic energy value?
This is false not all the molecules of a substance possess the average kinetic energy value. Temperature increases as the average kinetic energy of a gas increases.
What is the measure of the kinetic energy of a substance's molecules?
temperature!
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy
Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?
Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.
The type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving?
Kinetic energy is the type of energy that depends on how fast the molecules in a substance are moving.
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
