-- If the energy of the particle is its kinetic energy, then removing kinetic energy

certainly slows it down.

-- If the energy of the particle is its heat energy, then that too is nothing more than

the kinetic energy of its molecules. Remove heat energy from it, and the average

kinetic energy of its molecules ... along with their average speed ... decreases.

-- If an object started out high above the ground and then fell to the ground, it

gains speed constantly while it's falling. This is not a counterexample of losing

energy, since the falling object doesn't lose any energy ... it just trades potential

for kinetic. So it doesn't belong in this discussion at all.

They may, or they may not. Instead of removing kinetic energy (which would make the particles slower), you can also remove potential energy (which would not make them slower).

What happens when you remove heat from particles?

Then the particles would normally move slower. However, they can also lose energy in other ways; for example, when a liquid turns solid.Then the particles would normally move slower.

When you add energy to the particles move?

faster. and matter then would move slower


When you add energy to matter particles move?

faster. and matter then would move slower


Does increased energy increased that particles are moving faster r slower?

Increased energy makes particles move faster.


If thermal energy is added to matter do the particles move slower?

No - they speed up


What happens to particles when cooled?

it loses energy that makes it not move as quickly, therefore it gets smaller. that answer your question?


When particles of a gas lose thermal energy do they move slower or faster?

they move like old people


Do particles in sold ice move slower than particles in liquid water?

Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.


Do the particles in solid ice move slower than the particles in liquid?

Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.


Do larger particles move faster than smaller ones?

because they have a larger mass and require a greater energy to move at the same speed. KE=1/2mv2 where m is mass, v is velocity and KE is kinetic energy so for the same energy if the mass is doubled then v2 is halved, resulting in a slower speed


What is the connection between kinetic energy and the movement of particles in a substance?

The link is that the particles never completely stop and the particles maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes I.E. heating or cooling. when you add heat the particles move faster and when you cool they move slower.


When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?

No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.
