Heat is a form of energy, you are adding energy to the system, this causes the particles to vibrate faster.

What is heat transfer through conduction?

Conduction refers to heat transfer through solids. It is due to conduction that if we heat one side of a rod and place our hand on the other side, we feel the heat.What, basically, happens is that at the point that you have heated the rod, the particles gain more energy. As the particles in a solid are fixed in their position - and can only vibrate - due to the increase in eneery, the particles vibrate faster about their equilibrium positions. When they vibrate faster, they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature. When these particles also start vibrating faster, the cycle is repeated and they cause the particles around them to also vibrate faster, increasing their temperature as well. In this way, the disturbance is spread all over the rod, which is why you feel the heat on the other side of the rod, even though that side is not in direct contact with the heat.


What happens to the particles in object when they vibrate?

They cause the particles around them to be pushed together and then spread apart.


What does heat cause the particles in matter to do?

vibrate


How is heat transferred between two materials in conduction?

The particles vibrate and cause the particles next to it to vibrate and so on until the vibrations transfer to the next material. This works better in solids because the particles are more tightly packed.


What waves is a primary wave?

Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel


Sound waves can travel in a vacumn?

They can't, as sound is a series of particles that hit each other and cause a vibration. There are no particles in a vacuum to vibrate


What is a primary wave or p-wave?

Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel


When a hot object touches a cool object the particles in the hot object cause the particles in the cool object to?

It causes it to vibrate which causes it to heat up


What happens to the sound when you speak?

When you speak, your voice box vibrates. These vibrations cause the surrounding air particles to vibrate as well. These air particles in turn cause the other particles to vibrate. Energy is carried off in this manner into your ear. When the vibrations reach your ear, the receptor cells in your ear-drum send electrical signals to your brain, which interpret it as sound.


How Does Thermal Energy Cause Change?

An increase in thermal energy gives particles more kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate more. As they vibrate more, the volume they take up increases.
