In cold air, molecules move slower then they would move in warm air. One part of the KPM (kinetic particle model) states that temperature directly effects the movement of the particles, therefore causing the molecules of the warm air to move faster (because of more frequent collisions between the molecules).

Cold air molecules will have less entropy.

Cold air molecules tend to move towards higher temperatures.

Molecules with lower temperature loses its energy really fast to the surrounding environment.

In hot air, molecules absorb energy from heat so they bounce everywhere.In cold air, the moleclues stick together and form solids. The definition is :in hot air , particle can move anywhere; but in cold air , they don't move because of the bond turning them into solid, which act like LEGO.

Cold air is depressed and drops while warm air is happy and rises

How do molecules in air cause air resistance?

Molecules get in the way. When something passes through the air, it has to move molecules out of the way, and they are usually pushed aside.


How are warm and cold molecules alike?

they are exactly the same in every way except the warm ones move faster


What are the differences in the way water molecules move in cold room temperature and in hot water?

Water molecules have more space between each other in cold room temperature than hot water.


Why does the cold air stay close to the ground?

It haves high air pressure.


Why does salt dissolve faster in hot water rather than cold?

In hot water the water molecules are moving at a faster rate than they move in cold water. The faster moving molecules hit the salt molecules with greater force and knock them away from the other salt molecules faster. That way the salt molecules dissolve in the water quicker.


What front is created when warm air and cold air collide?

That depends. If the cold air pushes into the warm air, moving it out of the way it is called a cold front. If the cold air retreats with warm air coming in to to replace it, the front is a warm front. if the two air masses come together along a boundary that does not move the result is a stationary front.


Which way do water molecules move?

because its a liquid.


What do air particles do to cause air resistance?

The molecules in air is matter and matter has a weight. Atmospheric air weighs 1.3 kg per cubic meters. It is also called friction. Friction is something that slows you down or stops you as you move, for example air and a wall. In space there is a vacuum. Vacuum means that there is nothing any where at all. In other words, no air resistance or resistance of any kind/no friction.


Air resistance is created by?

air molecules in the way of falling objects


Do molecules move faster when they are heated?

yes because the heat gives then energy allowing the particles to move faster, or it works the other way around, if cooled the particles get less energy so they move around a lot less. that is why when water is heated it turns into a gas because the particles are spacing out and turning into a gas


What is absolute zero the temperature of?

because the hotter the air the faster the molecules move, the colder the air the slower the molecules move ,absolute zero is a temperature where molecules get so cold that they cant move anymore that temperature is -459.67°F or -273.15°C if you looked on a temperature scale they would be (the more common way,the actual temperature without a point) (a point is .) -459°F or -273°C , that temperature is without the point (.) in the kelvin temperature way the temperature is 0 kelvin (written in kelvin temperature like this 0 K) its just a K no degree symbol (degree symbols look like ° ) hoped this helped,bye


How does the vibration of a drumhead cause a sound wave to form?

As the drum head moves one way, it disturbs the air molecules near it, causing some of them to bunch closer together, increasing the pressure. This higher pressure area starts to affect the air molecules near it, so the high pressure area starts to move away. When the drum head moves in the other way, air molecules will move toward it to fill the space created. This makes a low pressure region. The alternating high and low pressure regions is the sound wave, traveling through the air.
