Depends on the container of the "air particles" and what you mean by "what happens."

If it is inside a container that can not expand, then the pressure increases. If it is inside a container that can expand (or is just atmospheric air) then the volume increases. (Pressure * Volume = n * R * change in temperature)

On the atomic level, the atoms or molecules (depending on the gas) begin to move more quickly as their kinetic energy increases.

When somthing is heated how does it cool down?

When something is heated, it gains energy in the form of heat. To cool down, the object needs to transfer this excess heat to its surroundings. This can happen through processes like conduction, convection, or radiation, allowing the object to return to thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.


What happen s to particles as they slow down?

They get colder, and start to lose heat.


Why coolers are placed at top of the room?

As heat particles rise the cool particles work their way down through them thus cooling the room!


Why ice is cool?

Ice is cool because they particles are slowing down, causing the to give off less kinetic energy, and therefore less heat


Why does cool air rises?

Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).


Will large particles cool water quicker than small particles?

If you have a handful of cold particles, and you want to toss them into a glassof water in order to cool it, then it'll happen faster if the particles are small.That way, there is more cold surface area in contact with the water toconduct heat out of it, and all of this is the main reason why the bartenderuses crushed ice in most drinks.


What happens when you heat and cool air?

When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.


Science Why smoke particles move about in air?

Smoke particles are very small and light, allowing them to be easily carried by air currents. Additionally, the heat from the source of the smoke causes air to rise, carrying the smoke particles along with it. As the smoke particles cool down, they eventually settle back down due to gravity.


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

transfer heat energy from the hot object to the cool object until they reach thermal equilibrium.


When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?

No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.


Why does water heat up and cool down slowly?

Because the particles, when they heat up, they vibrate and heat up, and when they stop heating up, well, it takes them a while to stop vibrating, and cool down.


When the sun starts to go down on a hot summer day the air is cool but the sidewalk is warm. why does this happen?

because the pavement traps heat and releases it slowly
