According to thermal expansion what happens to matter when the temperature decreases?

Pressure will decrease if it is in a sealed container, if it is not, volume decreases. These are the fundamental laws of pressure. The matter itself is deprived of heat energy which deprives it of kinetic energy, the power to move, that is why at absolute zero, all movement stops.

What happens to the thermal energy of an object as temperature decreases as it increases?
it decreases because when an object is moving as the temperature decreases the object decreases
What heat flows out of an object what happens to the temperature?
Temperature decreases.
What happens when metal plate with circular hole is heated?
The hole decreases due to metal expansion.
Why do the densities of most substances decrease with an increase in temperature?
This happens because the mass of the rod stays the same, but its volume increases. The increase in the volume of matter withincreasing temperature is called expansion. When cooled down, mostmatter decreases in volume and increases in density.
What happens to viscosity as temperature increases?
As the temperature rises, the viscosity, meaning a substance's resistance to flow decreases because a liquid based substance melts, and flows more.Viscosity decreases as temperature increases.
What happens to the thermal energy of an object as temperature decreases as it increases?
it decreases because when an object is moving as the temperature decreases the object decreases
What happens to a fluid when temperature decreases?
When temperature decreases, a fluid will eventually freeze and become solid
What heat flows out of an object what happens to the temperature?
Temperature decreases.
What happens to the temperature in the mesosphere?
the temperature decreases as you increase in altitude.
What happens to the temperature in the mesosphere as the altitude increase?
The temperature decreases
What happens to the temperature when a liquid becomes a gas?
The temperature decreases
What happens to the temperature vapor as it condenses?
decreases
What happens to temperature in the troposphere?
The air temperature decreases as you go higher. On the average temperature decreases about 6.5 degrees Celsius for each kilometer.
When the temperature of an object decreases what happens to the molecules?
In every liquid (with the exception of water) the molecules, when the temperature decreases, contract.
What happens to the temperature of the drink when you put ice cubes in it?
the temperature decreases
In the troposphere and mesosphere what happens to temperature as altitude increases?
The temperature decreases
When a cold front moves by a location what happens to the temperature?
The temperature decreases.
