The water in the beakers cooled down which means the particles slowed their vibrating because they had less energy, and the thermal energy turned into a gas because it had so much energy from the heat that it escaped the beaker as a gas.
This is very wrong:
Point 1:
Particles do not slow their vibrations, they are not alive or have any will.
They slow because they collide with the cooler, slower moving air particles around them. The air particles leave a collision moving a little faster (hence the air has got a little warmer) and the water particles leave a collision moving a little slower (hence the liquid has got a little cooler). If you add up the total momentum (velocity x mass) of all particle before a collision and then after a collision the two values will be the same. It is conserved, So two particles colliding with each other cannot overall have more momentum, hence both the liquid and the air cannot simultaneously get warmer or cooler.
Point 2: Energy is not a gas.
A gas is made up of particles that are vibrating faster relative to the corresponding liquid. They are vibrating so fast that they break the interactions that held them close in the liquid form. There is lots of space between the particles in a gas which means you can compress a gas but not a liquid.
Energy is a theoretical concept. Energy is a number that you can calculate from the properties of a closed system. You can then change the system and recalculate. and you will end up with the same number,
Using our three beakers example: Imagine the planet earth is a sealed box, nothing in nothing out not even light (a closed system). On our planet we have our three beakers with hot water and the air around them. I carry out an energy calculation on everything in the sealed box, it adds up to say 100. The beaker is then allowed to cool down, I then carry out the energy calculation again and end up with the same number 100. This number is just a number it doesn't tell us what happen in the physical world it just tells that the total will always be the same in a closed system.

What happens to thermal energy in a beaker when it is cooled down?
When a beaker is cooled down, thermal energy is transferred from the beaker to the surroundings. The molecules in the beaker lose kinetic energy, which causes the temperature of the beaker to decrease. This transfer of thermal energy continues until the beaker reaches thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.
Does temperature have an effect on the amount of thermal energy in a substance?
Yes, temperature directly impacts the amount of thermal energy in a substance. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases, leading to a higher amount of thermal energy. Conversely, a decrease in temperature results in a lower amount of thermal energy.
True or false To maintain your body temperature your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy?
True. Your body maintains its temperature through a process called thermoregulation, in which chemical energy from the food you eat is converted into thermal energy to help regulate your body temperature.
What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?
Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.
What best describes thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the energy and object or system has due to the movement of particles within. This results in the object or system having an internal temperature that can be measured with a thermometer.
When thermal energy is removed from matter what happens to its temperature'?
When thermal energy is removed from matter, its temperature decreases. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, so removing thermal energy reduces the kinetic energy and hence the temperature.
What happens to energy used for maintaining body temperature?
Thermal Energy
What happens to the temperature if an object loses thermal energy?
If an object loses thermal energy, its temperature decreases. This is because thermal energy is directly related to the object's temperature. As the object gives off energy, its molecules move more slowly, resulting in a lower temperature.
What happens to thermal energy in beakers as the water cools down?
due to convection, the movement of energy through a fluid or air, and also the first law of energy conservation, the thermal energy has convects throught the air to cooler regions, therefore cooling the beaker
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
As the temperature of a substance increases, its thermal energy also increases. This leads to greater kinetic energy of the particles within the substance, causing them to move faster and creating more thermal energy.
What happens to an object temperature when it loses thermal energy?
When an object loses thermal energy, its temperature decreases. This is because thermal energy is the energy associated with the random motion of particles within the object, and as these particles lose energy, they move more slowly, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
What happens to the thermal energy of an object as its temperature rises?
As an object's temperature rises, its thermal energy increases. This increase in temperature indicates that the particles within the object are moving faster and have more energy. The thermal energy is directly related to the kinetic energy of the particles in the object.
When there is more kinetic energy what happens to the thermal energy and temperature?
Molecules with a high temperature typically have a greater kinetic energy when compared to those with a lower temperature
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
What happens to a gas's thermal energy as that gas's temperature increases?
As the gas's temperature increases, its thermal energy also increases. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas particles, and as they move faster (due to higher temperature), they possess more kinetic energy and thus the thermal energy of the gas increases.
What happens to thermal energy of an object as it's temperature rises?
it gains more energy
What happens to the particles when thermal energy is added or removed?
When thermal energy is added to a substance, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster, increasing the substance's temperature. When thermal energy is removed, the particles lose kinetic energy and slow down, causing the temperature to decrease.
