When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
What is the difference between a wave and a particle?
A wave is a a moving oscillation that transfers energy through a medium. A particle is an object.
Why is vacuum the best insulator?
In order for heat to be conducted, there have to be collisions between atoms or molecules, in which energy is transferred from a faster moving particle to a slower moving particle. In a vacuum there are no particles, hence, no particle collisions and no heat conduction.
The type of energy transferred by a wave in a medium is energy?
kinetic
What type of energy does a moving river have?
Kinetic energy.

What happens to the speed of a particle as temperature decreases?
The speed of a particle decreases with decreasing temperature. Decreasing temperature is associated with lower energy states, and the particle will have a lower energy state. It will be moving with less kinetic energy.
Is it true that slow-moving objects have more kinetic energy then fast moving objects?
Faster particles have more energy than slower particles, yes.

How will a lighter gas particle have the same kinetic energy as a heavier particle?
It can be hotter (and so be moving faster) F=ma

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 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.
