Why cant the kinetic energy of all the atoms in an object be measured?

because they are so small and objects contain so many of them, it is impossible to measure the kinetic energy of all the individual atoms

What did democritus teach?
That all matters are made up of atoms
How do you explain to a 8 year old about hydrogen and atomic bombs?
Hydrogen bombs are caused by atoms fusing together--fusion. Each fusion releases energy. When enough atoms get fused, it causes a big explosion--big enough to wipe out a city.Atomic bombs can also be caused by fission--atoms splitting apart. Each split atom releases energy. If enough atoms get split up the energy released can wipe out cities such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Why nuclear bomb is chemical change?
It is a nuclear change not a chemical one. The energy for the yield originates from the nuclei of the atoms and the electrons (where chemical energy resides) are uninvolved in the process.
Why did scientists learn in the 1930s that led to the Manhattan project?
Uranium atoms could be split releasing tremendous energy
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
Explain the difference between an object's external temperature and its thermal energy?
The thermal energy of an object consists of the total kinetic energy of all its atoms and molecules. The temperature of the object is a measured average intensity of its thermal energy.
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
The temperature of an object is the most common measure of the average kinetic energy of the object.
What is an object's temperature related to?
kinetic energy of its atoms
Measure of the kinetic energy of the atoms of an object?
Temperature
What is the total kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules in an object called?
Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules in an object
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
conservation
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
Kelvins
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the atoms in an object?
Internal energy.
Does an object that feels hot have a lot of random kinetic energy.?
Yes, heat is the kinetic energy (the vibration modes) of the atoms and or molecules that make up an object.
What is transfer of energy to one particle to another?
ConductionMeasure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object
Energy of atoms and molecules in an object due to their motion is what type of energy?
That is called heat energy.
What is the word for the definition measure of the average kinetic energy of an object's atoms?
Temperature.
