If the two metals are at the same temperature then the atoms in each would have the same average kinetic energy.

Temperature is a measure of the "average energy per degree of freedom". To simplify things somewhat, kinetic energy is one of these degrees of freedom and so if they have the same temperature they have the same kinetic energy.

If the temperature of a balloon was to decrease what else would change?

The particles in the balloon slow down as the temperature decreases cause it to deflate


What will happen to the balloons particles when you put it in the freezer?

When you put a balloon in the freezer, the particles of the air inside the balloon will lose energy and slow down, causing them to contract and the balloon to shrink. This is because the cold temperature reduces the kinetic energy of the air molecules, leading to a decrease in pressure inside the balloon.


What happens if you put too many air particles into a balloon?

I am assuming that a rubber balloon is meant here not a hot air balloon! Squeezing a balloon will give rise to a decrease in volume and a subsequent increase in internal pressure which may not be too large as the balloon expands in another part to compensate. Using the kinetic theory of gases (which shouldn't strictly be applied to this case but provides insights) the average energy of the particles inside depends on the temperature- the particles don't go any faster they just hit the inside of the balloon more often because of the decrease in volume.


Where are the particles of helium farthest apart in a tank or in a balloon?

The particles of helium are farthest apart in a balloon.


As you walk into the cold locker room the temperature of the helium inside your balloon decreases What happens to its volume?

The volume of the balloon decreases as the temperature decreases because the particles inside the balloon move more slowly and become more closely packed together, causing the balloon to shrink. This is because gases contract when they are cooled.

how does temperature affect the size of-a balloon?

When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.

How did the particles inside the balloon move?

The particles inside the balloon moved randomly due to the kinetic energy they possess. The temperature of the gas inside the balloon affects the speed at which the particles move. When the gas inside the balloon is heated, the particles move faster and spread out, causing the balloon to expand.


The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?

The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.


What happens to the speed of the particles inside an air-filled balloon if the temperature of the balloon increases?

The speed of the particles inside the air-filled balloon increases as the temperature increases. This is because higher temperatures provide more thermal energy to the particles, causing them to move faster.

it pops and goes every where dont try it.


Why does a rubber balloon coated with aluminum takes longer to shrink than a rubber balloon without an aluminum coating?

Rubber is a compound with large molecules loosely bound by hydrogen bonding and is holey as it is stretched. Coating a balloon with aluminum which has atoms regularly spaced, forms a cohesive layer with less space between particles and less holes.


What would happen to pressure if you removed some of the gas particles from the balloon?

If temperature and volume is fixed,pressure reduces.


How many air particles are in a balloon?

The number of air particles in a balloon can vary depending on the size of the balloon and the pressure of the air inside. On average, there are approximately 2.5 x 10^22 air molecules in a standard-sized balloon.

How does a hot air balloon and what happens to the particles?

A hot air balloon rises because the air inside the balloon is heated by a burner, making it less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This temperature difference creates buoyancy, causing the balloon to float upwards. As the air inside the balloon cools down, the particles lose energy and the balloon begins to descend.
