Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
How a primary wave moves?
P Waves, or primary waves, move through both solids and liquids. When traveling through solids, P-Waves move fast through dense solids and slower through less dense solids. They move in a compression motion, much like a slinky would. P-Waves are noticed first because they travel faster than S Waves.
How can solids become liquids and liquids to solids?
Solids become liquids when the temperature reaches melting point, groups of particles start to brake away from each other. This is when the solid starts becoming a liquid. Liquids become solids on cooling, the particles move slower and become a solid.
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
Why is the gravitational pull on liquids more noticeable than pull on solids?
Liquids are easier to move around more.
Does heat move faster through solids or liquids and gasses?
no
Does sound move fastest through solids liquids or gas?
solids becuase it is to cool to be toched
What tpyes of materials can the three waves move through?
Primary Wave can move through solids, liquids, and gases.Primary waves are formed due to the property of materials that they respond to compressional stress. As all materials(solids, liquids and gases) respond to compressional stress, primary waves can move through all phases.Secondary Wave can move through solids, but NOT liquids and gases.Secondary waves are formed due to the property of materials responding to shear stress. As fluids do not respond to shear stress, secondary wave does not move through fluids.Surface Waves move through solids along the boundary of two layers.
What has the highest velocity and can move through solids liquids or gases?
Gamma Rays and/or velociraptors.
How do solids liquids and gasses move through your body?
The blood carries them to all parts of the body
Why is gas denser than liquids and solids?
Gas isn't denser than liquids and solids. It's the other way around. And THIS is because the atoms in liquids and solids are closer together and there is less space to move around. In solid objects, the atoms are so close and compacted they don't move. in liquids, the atoms are a little bit farther apart. in gases, they are very spread out, making the amount of atoms LESS dense than the solids.
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
What are the major difference between a gas and solids or liquids?
solids - tightly packed and unable to move liquids- tightly packed but able move gases- spread out and able to move
What are 3 ways heat energy can move?
Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.
What type of earthquake wave can go through solids and liquids?
P-waves can pass through liquids,solids,and gases. A P-wave is a type of body wave that has an up and down motion. Another type of body wave is the S-wave. S-waves CAN'T pass through liquids but they can pass through solids and gases. I hope that answered your question. =)
What Name a property of liquids that they do not share with solids?
Liquids can move and can change places while the solids are tightly packed with each other and cannot move or change places.
