... of the same substance, yes. As, in a gas the molecules are spaced farther apart and move around at greater speeds.

Does a gas have less energy then a liquid form?
no .Gas have more kinetic energy than it's liquid form.
Is Kinetic energy a solid liquid or gas?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Heat is a form of kinetic energy (the movement of individual atoms or molecules) so the liquid phase contains more kinetic energy than the solid and the gas phase has more kinetic energy than the liquid phase. However, kinetic energy can also be imparted to a mass as a whole in which case if the total mass of the phases was constant the this imparted kinetic energy would be the same for all phases.
Does a liquid has a low or high kinetic energy?
it really depends. For example, and ice cube has low kinetic where as steam has high kinetic energy
When solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium which phase solid or liquid contain the greater amount of energy?
The answer depends on the specifics of the question. The idea though, is that when they are in equilibrium, both the solid and the liquid should have the same amount of energy PER MOLECULE. The fact that there is a solid component and a liquid component means that either the solid is melting or the liquid is freezing. In most situations, that means that the temperature of the whole mixture is constant. Another idea is that the energy in the molecules can either be kinetic or potential energy. Basically, the more kinetic energy PER MOLECULE an object has, the higher the object's temperature. Furthermore, the more potential energy PER MOLECULE that the object has, the further apart the molecules are from each other. Combining these ideas, here are a few possible answers to your question. 1. There is more solid than liquid. On average, the solid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the liquid. The solid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid has more potential energy in total. The solid has more overall energy. 2. There is more liquid than solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid, having more molecules, has more kinetic energy total. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. 3. There are equal amounts of liquid and solid. On average, the liquid's molecules have the same kinetic energy as the solid. The liquid has equal kinetic energy as the solid due to the even split. The liquid also has more potential energy in total. The liquid has more overall energy. These three are the main possibilities, and as can be seen in the details, the answer depends on the relative amounts of liquid and solid.
Why does a train have more kinetic energy than a car traveling at the same speed?
Kinetic energy also depends on mass.
Why is kinetic energy more in liquid state?
Than in ??what?? state Kinetic energy is greater in liquid state because the liquid substance is moving. If the kinetic energy was less than in liquid state, the object of the state would become solid.

What effect does liquid nitrogen have on molecular kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. Because liquid nitrogen is very cold, a system's kinetic energy will be collisionally transferred to the added liquid nitrogen. Thus, in general, adding liquid nitrogen will decrease a system's kinetic energy. (There are some exceptions where the system has less kinetic energy than the liquid nitrogen, such as liquid helium.)

How does kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
What is the key defferenc between liquid and gas?
A gas has greater kinetic energy than a liquid.
Hows the energy differs between a solid liquid and gas?
In three equal masses of the same pure substance, the solid, the liquid and the gas would all have the same amount of total energy. The solid will have less kinetic but more potential, the gas will have more kinetic but lesl potential energy.
Do Particles in a solid have less kinetic energy than particles in a liquid or gas?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Atoms or molecules of a solid are tightly constricted and can really only vibrate a little, so they have very littel kinetic energy. Liquids can flow, so those atoms/molecules have a little kinetic energy, and the molecules with the most kiinetic energy are those in gases.
What is the differences between evoporatin and boiling point?
If the temperature of a liquid is less than its boiling point then the average kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid will be less than the energy required to escape the liquid. However, particle energies will vary and some higher energy particles will be able to escape the liquid. This is called evaporation. On the other hand if the average kinetic energy of particles in the liquid is sufficient for the particles to escape the liquid then the process is called boiling. So the boiling point of a liquid is defined to be the temperature such that atoms in the liquid have, on average, sufficient kinetic energy to escape the liquid. More importantly, last week I got stuck behind my fridge and had to stay there overnight.
