Best Answer

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it possesses due to its motion.

Translation kinetic energy is energy due to motion along a path (as opposed to rotational kinetic energy, which energy do the motion created when an object rotates, or changes its orientation in space.)

Translational energy is the energy of bodies in motion. It is a sub-category of kinetic energy, which you may be more familiar with.

What is translational entropy?

How are the particles in a solid?

Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.


What is the term for the movement of molecules within a liquid?

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 molecule movement?

Molecular MotionMolecules and everything in them can move in many ways, and energy is associated with all of those different kinds of motion. There is translational movement. Molecules can move from one place to another.There is also rotational movement. That is, they can turn around and around.The third way shown here is vibrational movement.In addition, electrons can move from place to place and orbital to orbital.These types of motion and the energy associated with them influence the physical properties of chemicals. The color of chemicals is often associated with changes in electron energy levels.The phase of chemicals is associated with translational and rotational motion of molecules. In the gas phase molecules are free to move from one place to another and also have considerable translational motion.Rotational motion can involve the entire molecule rotating or the internal parts of the molecule rotating with respect to one another. These types of rotation are found in molecules in both the gas phase and the liquid phase.Vibrational motion is found in molecules in all three of the phases. It is the vibrational motion and the energy needed to change it that we will focus on now.


Is temperature inversely related to the average kinetic energy of a gas?

In an ideal gas of monatomic particles, the average kinetic energy is <K>=(3/2)*k*T In a more general ideal gas, the average energy of each particle is <K>=(d/2)*k*T where d is the number of degrees of freedom. There isn't a clear distinction between kinetic and potential energy for general degrees of freedom. For normal (non-negative) temperatures, as temperature increases, so does energy. The exact relation depends on the entropy of the system. T=dU/dS, where d is the partial derivative. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipartition_theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas

Why does a Screw takes less forces to move into wood than a nail?

a screw possesses both rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy while a nail possesses only translational kinetic energy as it moves through the piece of wood hence the screw moves faster since its motion is backed by more energy than the nail.


What is transitional energy?

This is not a standard term, but may refer to the energy of an intermediate stage in a process. Perhaps you mean translational energy, which is an unusual way of saying energy of motion when the motion is from place to place.
