What else can I help you with?
If the law of conservation of energy says energy can't be created or destroyed where does the kinetic energy at the particle level get transferred?
If a moving object slows down due to friction, its kinetic energy gets converted to kinetic energy of individual particles - that is, the objects involved in the friction, and the surroundings, heat up.
A liquid tends to seek its own?
level due to the force of gravity pulling it downwards and the particles in the liquid spreading out evenly to minimize potential energy.
What is the kinetic energy theory for plasma?
The average translational kinetic energy of particles in a plasma is 3kT/2, i.e. the equation for kinetic energy of plasma particles is the same as any other form of matter. In this respect, a plasma is not significantly different from a gas. The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. In a real sense, kinetic energy at the molecular level and temperature at the macro level are the same thing; quantities like the universal gas constant (R) and Boltzman's constant (k) can be viewed as simply unit conversion factors between degrees and joules.
Molecules at the surface of a liquid can enter the vapor phase only if?
they have enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them in the liquid phase. This process is known as evaporation.
What happens to the energy level as a substance moves from the solid to the liquid and eventually to the gaseous state?
the amount of motion of each molecule increases. i.e the amount of disorder increases. since the motion is increasing as an object gets converted from solid to liquid to gas, the energy level increases.
What level of kinetic energy do particles evaporate first?
Ones with the most energy
How does thermal energy relate to kinetic energy?
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance due to the motion of its atoms and molecules. This motion is directly related to the kinetic energy of the particles, as faster moving particles have higher kinetic energy. In this way, thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy at the microscopic level.
Is heat a form of kinetic energy?
Yes, heat is a form of kinetic energy because it is the energy associated with the movement of particles at the atomic or molecular level.
Kinetic energy is a microscpic concept the equivalent macroscopic concept is?
Kinetic energy at the microscopic level is equivalent to thermal energy at the macroscopic level. Thermal energy represents the collective kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance, including their random motion and vibration.
What temperature is a measure of at the atomic level?
Temperature at the atomic level is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. It reflects how fast the particles are moving or vibrating.
How could particles of a liquid end up as a particles of gas?
Usually by adding heat and/or reducing pressure.
What type of energy is primarily associated with the random motion and arrangement of the particles in a substance?
Thermal energy is primarily associated with the random motion and arrangement of particles in a substance. It is a form of kinetic energy that results from the movement of particles at the microscopic level.
If the law of conservation of energy says energy can't be created or destroyed where does the kinetic energy at the particle level get transferred?
If a moving object slows down due to friction, its kinetic energy gets converted to kinetic energy of individual particles - that is, the objects involved in the friction, and the surroundings, heat up.
A liquid tends to seek its own?
level due to the force of gravity pulling it downwards and the particles in the liquid spreading out evenly to minimize potential energy.
Does heat form with energy?
Heat is a form of energy that results from the motion of particles at the molecular level. When energy is transferred to an object, it can increase the kinetic energy of its particles, leading to a rise in temperature and the production of heat.
What is the kinetic energy theory for plasma?
The average translational kinetic energy of particles in a plasma is 3kT/2, i.e. the equation for kinetic energy of plasma particles is the same as any other form of matter. In this respect, a plasma is not significantly different from a gas. The average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. In a real sense, kinetic energy at the molecular level and temperature at the macro level are the same thing; quantities like the universal gas constant (R) and Boltzman's constant (k) can be viewed as simply unit conversion factors between degrees and joules.
How does an atom in a liquid transfer heat?
Heat does not exist at the level of atoms, at the level of the atom its kinetic energy; which is only observed as heat at the macroscopic/bulk level.Atoms with more kinetic energy bounce harder against other atoms, transferring more kinetic energy to those atoms. This has two effects at the macroscopic/bulk level, where heat is observed:direct transfer of kinetic energy results in diffusion of heat, called conductionkinetic energy pushes the atoms further apart causing a reduction in density, enabling a process called convectionif the liquid is accelerating or in a gravitational field
