To condense a subject you must reduce temperature. Reducing the temperature of a substance reduces the amount of heat that the object has, which means less thermal energy. Thermal energy is the energy of molecular motion, so when you reduce it, molecular motion slows.

What happens when a solid cools down does it vibrate faster or slower?

When a solid cools down, its particles lose energy and vibrate slower. As the temperature decreases, the motion of the atoms or molecules within the solid diminishes, leading to reduced vibrations. This is in contrast to when a solid is heated, where increased thermal energy causes the particles to vibrate faster.


Does sound travels faster or slower through a solid than through air?

Faster.


How do energy changes affect matter?

Assuming you mean changes of state i.e. solid to liquid, then if energy is supplied to matter then the particles or atoms move faster as they gain kinetic energy. This causes the bonds between the atoms to break, allowing the particles to flow over each other, as in a liquid. Like matter, energy is never created or destroyed in chemical reactions. Or: Every chemical change in matter includes a change in energy.


When energy is removed from a liquid do the molecules move faster or slower?

I might be wrong, but I would say slower. If you mean energy in form of heat, molecules move slower if the liquid is colder, so if a liquid releases energy in form of heat (turns ¨cooler¨), than the molecules move slower. As I said, I might be wrong. Just my thoughts


What happens to the speeds of the particles when thermal conduction is occurring within a solid?

During thermal conduction in a solid, kinetic energy is transferred from faster-moving particles to slower-moving particles. This leads to an overall increase in the speed of slower particles and a decrease in the speed of faster particles, resulting in a more uniform distribution of particle speeds.


When water changes from a solid to a liquid energy is?

Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.


When a solid changes to a liquid does it speed up or slow down?

When a solid changes to a liquid, the particles gain energy and start moving faster, causing the solid to melt into a liquid. So, in this process, the particles speed up.


Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?

No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.


When a solid changes to a liquid energy is?

energy is gained!


Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?

Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.


Do molecules gain or lose energy from melting?

When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.


Do molecules move faster in a gas or a solid?

Basically, a solid is quite stationary. It doesn't move very much. Liquids have more energy, meaning that the particles move a lot freer. In a gas the particles are a lot further apart, meaning that they have a LOT more space to move. Solids can be made to move faster if you give it enough energy (ie, heat). The atoms then start vibrating faster, making spaces between the atoms. This is what happens (basically) when you melt something.
