If the particles of a substance are moving faster do they have more energy?
Yes, generally the faster molecules are moving, the greater their energy. This manifests as higher temperature, and (for gases) higher pressure.
What are the two things that the thermal energy depends on?
- How fast the particles are moving - The number of particles in a substance
What thermal energy moving from one substance to another?
Heat is thermal energy moving from one substance to another.
Do all objects with molecules have energy?
Sure - they certainly have the heat energy from, from the moving molecules.
Is absolute zero the temperature at which the molecules in a substance are not moving at all?
substance dont move at all
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.
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.
Do the faster the particles of a substance are moving the more energy they have?
Yes, generally the faster molecules are moving, the greater their energy. This manifests as higher temperature, and (for gases) higher pressure.

What happens to kinetic energy of the particles of a substance as the substance changes from a liquid to a gas?
The faster the molecules of a substance are moving, the warmer that substance is, because temperature is really a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance or object. For a substance to evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas, it has to become warmer. That means that the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

Heat is thermal energy moving from one substance to another.
What is the energy of moving particles in a subatnce?
The energy moving in particles in a substance is thermal energy

Sure - they certainly have the heat energy from, from the moving molecules.
A temperature is?
A temperature is to us people how hot or cold something is. Actually, it is the measurement of how how much kinetic energy is in a substance (how fast the molecules are moving).
What is the driving potential for heat transfer?
The molecules (or atoms at a smaller level) of a substance which are on average moving faster are hotter (more heat). When these molecules come in contact with another substance with slower molecules they impact each other (either physically or through forces) and transfer some of their speed (kinetic energy) to the slower molecules. Thus the temperature decreases in the first substance and increases in the second substance.
When do molecules have the most kinetic energy?
When they are moving.
