Yes. Atoms move faster in hot water because by increasing the heat, you are increasing the thermal energy. The higher the heat, the faster the atoms move. Blow up a balloon into the shape of an egg and attach it to a small weight so it sinks. Place the balloon in a glass with cold water and ice. See what happens to the balloon. Then, take the balloon and place it in a warm cup of water. The balloon will expand again, and that is because the atoms are going "nuts" and jumping around! That is kinetic energy!

Why a hotter substance cools faster?

A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground. If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.


What matter flows when force is applied?

When force is applied to an object, matter can flow in the form of particles (such as atoms or molecules) or as a continuous substance (such as a liquid or gas). This movement occurs due to the transfer of energy within the system, causing the particles or substance to displace or change position.


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.


When heat flows into an object and its temperature rises the change in temperature is what?

The change in temperature when heat flows into an object is an increase. This increase in temperature occurs as the object absorbs the heat energy and its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and the object's temperature to rise.


Does heat flow from warm to cooler substances?

Yes. Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler substance. The technical term is: The Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Why does river flow slower on flat areas?

It flows slower because when a river goes down it flows faster because gravity is helping it and when its on a flat area it doesn't move as fast because gravity isn't help pull the water down therefore making it slower.


What is the difference in silica content and viscosity between light-colored and dark-colored magma?

The lower the viscosity is the hotter the magma is and faster it flows.Higher the viscosity is the cooler it is and slower it flows down.

How does the flow of water change where a river bends?

The speed of water at a river bend flows much faster and deeper on the outside of the bend. On the inside of the bend the velocity is much slower and shallower.


How is the electricity like a river?

Electric current flows like water in a river flows. If the river is deep, there is greater current but slower. If the river is shallow, the current is faster, but the volume of water is greater. The same analogies can be used with electricity.
