The process is conservation of momentum. Kinetic energy from the faster particle at least partially transferred to the slower particle. Since the internal energy of a fixed mass is directly related to the kinnetic energy of the particles making up the mass (lower temperature means lower kinetic energy of the molecules of the mass) and the energy moves from the the faster molecules to the slower ones, it qualifies as heat - which is defined as the movement of energy driven by a temperature gradient.

What is another name for a charged particle?

Negatively charged particles are called electrons, positively charge particles are called protons. Particles without charge are called neutrons.


Why does radiation usually transfer through a gas more easily than through solids or liquids?

Gas is much less dense than liquids or solids, which means that it has fewer particles (the particles generally being atoms or molecules) per unit volume, than there are in the denser materials. Hence, if something is travelling through a gas it is not going to hit as many particles a it would if it were travelling through a liquid or solid. And any time a photon hits another particle, it may be absorbed, or reflected, or defelcted in some manner by that particle.


What is the relationship between changes of state and particle movement?

Solid : The particles are held together and arranged in a regular pattern. They cannot move from one place to another but only vibrate at their own positions. The spaces between them are very little. Liquid : The particles are close together but they can move from one place to another. The spaces between them are little. Gas : The particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.

How is bouncing a basketball to a friend a model of how light reflects from a surface?

If you think of light as made up of small, elastic particles, then when they hit a hard surface, they will bounce off and travel in another direction. This is analogous to a basketball bouncing off a floor. However, the particle nature of light has been disproven. A more accurate description lies in the wave or particle-wave duality nature of light.

How do particles conduct heat?

When particles receive energy (like heat) usually it causes the particle to vibrate. If this particle is next to another particle, the vibration causes the particle next to it to vibrate. This vibration is the heat energy being given off, and colliding with the next particle, which then collides with the next particle, then the next, etc.This is the case with solid and liquid particles, however gas particles use convection, which is where the gas particle hits another particle, and so transfers some of the energy (such as heat) to that particle.Conduction ConvectionA;vibrate;B;vibrate:C A->->->;collide;B->->;collide;C

How does sound travel a material?

They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.


How does sound travel though a material?

They pass from particle to particle by vibrating the particle. When the particle touches another particle, it transfers the sound energy to that particle. Hence the Sound Wave.

What transfers heat by collision of particles?

What is the process by which heat transfers from one particle of matter to another when the particles collide?

This process is known as conduction, where heat transfers through direct contact between particles. When particles collide, they transfer kinetic energy, causing vibrations that propagate through the material as heat. Materials with higher thermal conductivity allow heat to transfer more efficiently through conduction.


When the movement of particles from one place to another transfers energy is called?

When the movement of particles from one place to another transfers energy, it is called heat transfer. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.

How do waves transfer energy?

Waves transfer energy by causing particles in the medium to oscillate back and forth. As the wave travels through the medium, this movement of particles transfers kinetic energy from one particle to another. This transfer of energy allows the wave to propagate through the medium.
