What else can I help you with?
How is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance affected when undergoing a phase change?
During a phase change, the kinetic energy of particles remains constant. This energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds, causing the substance to change from one phase to another without a change in temperature.
A girl drop a cup from a certain height which break into pieces what energy changes are involved?
first there is p.e which is converted into k.e.
Latent heat in terms of molecular behaviour?
Latent heat is the energy absorbed or released during a phase change without a corresponding change in temperature. At the molecular level, this energy is used to break or form intermolecular bonds, such as when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. The kinetic energy of the molecules remains constant during a phase change, leading to a temporary "hidden" energy storage in the form of potential energy within the bonds.
Which phase change results with increased kinetic energy?
The phase change from solid to liquid results in increased kinetic energy because the particles in a solid have lower kinetic energy compared to those in a liquid. As the solid particles gain energy, they vibrate more and break free from their fixed positions, leading to the transition to a liquid state.
Does the kinetic energy of a system change during a phase change?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone to ask the answer of. Earn your diploma. Haha, whoever wrote that is Just mean. He or she wrote it here because they didnt understand it and wanted to knowledge of our community we call earth (sharing is caring). Anyhoo during a phase change (lets use the example of ice to water) ice to water is the phase change. When heat is added the particles move, but the energy isn't used for it for movement, instead its for breaking the bonds. And kinetic energy is energy from movement. Thus, nope its potential energy that is being changed. Gl to all those kids/teens/adults that search this question! I was too pissed when i didnt come up with an answer for this question, and its mean ppl like the one above me who make it worst for us cram-last-minute people =)
What kind of potential energy from food can be changed to what kind of energy?
Potential energy from food can be converted into kinetic energy and thermal energy in the body. When we eat, our bodies break down the food to release energy that is used for movement and to maintain body temperature.
What type of physical change is it when ice melts?
Frozen water (ice) is a solid. when ice melts the water molecules gain kinetic energy and are able to break free of their rigid hydrogen bonding. This is the definition of a liquid!!! The order goes from most to least kinetic energy; plasma, gas, liquid, solid, absolute zero. Before the ice is to be melted that is called potential energy.
What type of energy destroys other energies?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.
Does a string with tension have energy if yes what kind?
A string under tension has potential energy, which will be liberated as kinetic energy should the string break or be released.
Whyi is the chemical energy of a battery potential energy and not kinetic energy?
The chemical energy stored in a battery is a form of potential energy because it is stored in the chemical bonds of the battery's components (such as electrodes and electrolytes), and the energy is released when these bonds break during a chemical reaction. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is associated with the motion of particles or objects, which is not the case with the chemical energy stored in a battery.
Why does it take a lot of energy to change the temperature of water to make it vaporize?
Liquid water has an unusually high specific heatcapacity. It is one of the highest of any substance known. But, that's just another way of saying that it is hard to change water's temperature--it doesn't explain why water has a high heat capacity.Thermal energy is stored in liquid water as kinetic energy (molecular motion and rotation), as kinetic and potential energy in the vibrations of the inter-atomic bonds and, in particular, as kinetic and potential energy in the vibrations of the hydrogen bonds between molecules (H2O is a polar molecule with very strong hydrogen bonds). Much of the thermal energy that goes into water is stored as potential energyand, since temperature is a measure of only the average kinetic energy of the molecules, doesn't contribute to raising its temperature.
When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another what happens to the solid?
When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another, the solid undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid. This process is known as melting.
