When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.


Is pressure higher or slower when molecules move faster or slower?

Molecules move more rapidly when heated as their kinetic energy is increased so their speed increases.


When energy is transferred to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

increase


How do you increase or decrease the movment of molecules?

Molecules react to thermal energy, or heat, as well as pressure. When you increase the temperature of molecules, they will increase their vibration and movement. Pressure can also allow molecules to move from one area to another.


What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated and why?

The molecules of a gas move faster when heated so the pressure increases.


What effect does an increase in temperature have on the movement of molecules?

Molecules create friction from rubbing together causing the temperature to increase.


What happens to the particles in a gas when the temperature increases?

The atoms or molecules of a gas will increase in kinetic energy when that gas is heated. Those atoms or molecules will exhibit an increase in their vibrational energy, and they will expand and move farther apart if they are not confined.


Why does heating increase the speed at a solute dissolves in water?

It makes the water molecules move faster.


How does pressure and heat play a role in the processe of nuclear fusion?

heat and pressure is what causes the hydrogen molecules to move faster


What is it when something absorbs heat?

What happens is that the molecules will move faster causing the object's temperature to increase and expand.


Why does pumping a soccer ball with an air pump increase the pressure inside the ball?

Pumping pushes more air molecules into the ball. That makes more molecules moving around inside of the ball and more molecules colliding with the inside of the ball. All of those collisions (trillions and trillions) push the inside of the ball out. When the temperature is increased, the molecules move faster. Faster molecules collide with the inside walls more frequently, which also increases the pressure. You can test this by pumping up a ball then putting it into the freezer and see what happens to the pressure.


Why do you store areosol cans in a cool area?

If you increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the particles in the can. This means they move faster. The faster they move, the more they hit the side of the can. This causes pressure. Lots of pressure inside a can = *BOOM* (like when a coke bottle explodes in a freezer)
