Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample the particles in a liquid lava sample?
Have less kinetic energy
Which property is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter?
Temperature is the correct answer because temperature measures average kinetic energy.
How does the kinetic energy of particles vary as a function of temperature?
In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion.[1] It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body in decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energyThere is no relation to temperature. Temperature is a measure of *RANDOM* motion. A velocity is not random.
An increase in the average kinetic energy of a sample of copper atoms occurs with an increase in what?
Temperature
What process increases the potential energy of the particles of a sample 1 condensation 2 deposition 3 solidification 4 vaporization?
4. vaporization
What happens to sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
its particles stop moving around because of loosing kinetic energy. As you know kinetic energy is something that moves around .And particles in sample of matter cool off and stop.
What happened to the kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of gas as the temperature of the sample increase?
The average Kinetic energy of the atoms in the sample will increase as the sample is heated.
Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample the particles in a liquid lava sample?
Have less kinetic energy
Which term is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample?
Temperature measures the average ____ of the particles in a material
Which property is measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter?
Temperature is the correct answer because temperature measures average kinetic energy.
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
What term refers to the total kinetic energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
Which property is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter?
Temperature is the correct answer because temperature measures average kinetic energy.
Is it true that the temperature of a sample of steam increases from 100 to 200. The average kinetic energy of its particles doubles?
False
Which type of energy is associated with the random motion of the particle in a sample of gas?
Randomly moving particles in a gas are experiencing kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of individual atoms, when they are randomly moving in their equilibrium position, is an example of disordered energy. Hope that hlps. :)Also average kinetic energy is also know as TEMPERATURE or thermal energy :)
The average kinetic energy of a substances is its what?
Average KE is proportional to the temperature of the particles measured in Kelvin.Energy is measured in Joules and temperature is measured in Kelvin or Celsius. Do not think that they are the same thing.KE = 1/2mv2 for macroscopic objects but the equation for working out the KE of particles is quite complicated.
Which term is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a sample?
temperature
