What is the energy of moving particles that produce heat?
thermal energy
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
What is the average kinetic energy of particles in an object can be measured by its?
By its Thermal Energy.
A measure of the average thermal energy to an object the particles moving in matter is called what?
energy
Why do clothes that are bulky and take up space keep you warm?
as it has fibres in them where the particles make you warm as they became more heated(thermal energy) and the particles are more closer together
What type of energy is primarily associated with the random motion and arrangement of the particles in a substance?
Thermal Energy
Has thermal energy been transfered into or out of a substance if the average kinetic energy changes?
Temperature is a measure of the average KE of the PARTICLES of a substance. So if the temperature changes, ave KE changes, thus thermal energy will have been transferred.
How is the kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance different after it changes?
If you mean by heating it... When you heat a substance, the thermal energy of its particles increases. This means that the particles will move around faster as they have a higher kinetic energy.
Is melting thermal energy or movement in particles?
Thermal
What are two ways to change the state of a substance?
Substances can change state, usually when they are heated or cooled. For example, liquid water turns into steam when it is heated enough, and it turns into ice when it is cooled enough. The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state.
Which describes a physical change that results from the addition of thermal energy?
Expansion (either of a solid or steam) and evaporation are two of these physical changes.
Does temperature contain any particles?
Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy of a system...thermal energy cannot be said to be a particle, but particles may have thermal energy.
What causes the particles of a substance to lose thermal energy?
The particles in a substance lose thermal energy as the temperature decreases, because the particles are moving and vibrating less.
What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
What happens to particles of matter as they change from a solid to a liquid?
It changes shape.
What is the thermal energy of particles in a substance?
Mostly the kinetic energy of particles due to heating is called thermal energy Temperature is a measure of heat
How is thermal energy in an object defined?
particles
