Which phase of matter do the particles have the least energy?
The phase of matter that has the least kinetic energy is the solid phase. You know that temperature is a measure of kinetic energy among molecules of a substance and solid is the phase of matter that occurs at the lowest temperature.
Is Kinetic energy a solid liquid or gas?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Heat is a form of kinetic energy (the movement of individual atoms or molecules) so the liquid phase contains more kinetic energy than the solid and the gas phase has more kinetic energy than the liquid phase. However, kinetic energy can also be imparted to a mass as a whole in which case if the total mass of the phases was constant the this imparted kinetic energy would be the same for all phases.
What happens to the kinetic energy of a substance while undergoing a phase change?
It depends on what phase change they are undergoing. If it were going from a solid to a liquid, then the kinetic energy would be greater. Same as if it were going from a liquid to a gas. However, if it were going from a liquid to a solid (or a gas to a liquid), then the kinetic energy would decrease.
What phase of matter do molecules have the lowest amount of energy?
The kinetic energy of water molecules in ice is less than the kinetic energy of watermolecules in water and that is less than the kinetic energy of water molecules in stream.That is because the range of temperatures where ice exists, -273C to 0C, is less than the range where water exists, 0C to 100C, which is less than the range where water gas exists, 100C and up. Kinetic energy climbs continuously with temperature through each phase.Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.All molecules have an average kinetic energy proportional to the absolute temperature, particularly, Translational kinetic energy =3kT/2.There is no maximum. Increasing temperature increases molecular kinetic energy until the energy destroys the molecule and then the fragments will have an average kinetic energy 3kT/2.
What would have the most kinetic energy a hot gas a cool gas a solid a hot liquid or a cool liquid?
The molecules of a hot gas have the most kinetic energy. The molecules of a hot solid will contain the most energy per volume.
What physical factors does the average kinetic energy of molecules depend on?
Correct. But I would add, this is not just a characteristic of liquids. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles in any given substance, for all states of matter.
When would a gas have zero kinetic energy?
A gas, or any matter, would have zero kinetic energy when its temperature reaches absolute zero, zero degrees Kelvin. While such matter is theoretically possible, it has never been observed since any observations of such matter would require some sort of energy transfer, which would be impossible for a substance with zero kinetic energy In practically all these kind of questions the unspoken implication is that we are talking of thermal kinetic energy. Even at absolute zero, there would be kinetic energy due to the earth's rotation, its movement round the sun, the movement of the sun and of the galaxy, whatever that implies about relativity and expansion of space and so on. Even thermal motions have this nasty little hiccup, known as the zero point motion.
What is energy associated with motion?
The energy associated with motion would be kinetic energy
What is the average of kinetic energy?
Eg=3(kT)/2, where k=Boltzmann constant and T = temperature.
What is the byproduct of energy transformation?
the answer is kinetic energy because with out kinetic energy, energy transformations would not be possible
According to the kinetic theory of matter what do particles of matter do when the temperature is absolute zero?
The particles on every state of matter are always in motion, and hence will have a specific amount of kinetic energy both related to their temperature and current state. Solids move less than liquids, liquids less than gasses, etc. At absolute zero, it's theorized that independant molecular movement within any state of matter would cease, and that matter would therefore have no kinetic energy other than being physically moved somewhere by an outside force.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
