That is not a very accurate description. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, or the energy that something has because of its motion.

How is the kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance different after it changes?

If you mean by heating it... When you heat a substance, the thermal energy of its particles increases. This means that the particles will move around faster as they have a higher kinetic energy.


How does cold affect kinetic energy?

Cold temperatures decrease the kinetic energy of particles because they have less thermal energy to move around. As temperature decreases, the particles move more slowly, resulting in a reduction in their kinetic energy.


Do molecules in a liquid have the same kinetic energy as a gas?

No, molecules in a liquid have lower kinetic energy compared to a gas. In a liquid, the molecules are closer together and have weaker kinetic energy as they move more slowly. In contrast, molecules in a gas have higher kinetic energy because they are more spread out and move faster.


What are the forms of Kinetic energy.?

There is the kinetic energy you are familiar with, just moving around There is also electrical kinetic energy, the energy required to move electrons within a circuit this energy is also known as electromotive force of Voltage


When can kinetic energy occur?

When things move. Kinetic energy is energy in motion.


What happens to the Kinetic energy of atoms as they move from solid to liquid and gas?

As atoms move from solid to liquid to gas, their kinetic energy increases. In the solid phase, atoms vibrate in fixed positions with low kinetic energy. In the liquid phase, atoms have more freedom to move around and their kinetic energy increases. In the gas phase, atoms have even more kinetic energy as they move freely and rapidly.


What is energy that makes you move called?

The energy that makes you move is called kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with an object in motion.


How do you know that all matter around you posses kinetic energy?

That depends on the exact definitions used. Matter has kinetic energy if it moves. Matter that doesn't move does NOT have kinetic energy.However, any matter has heat energy, which is a type of kinetic energy... kinetic energy at the level of individual atoms or molecules.


What kind of energy causes molecules to move around quickly?

Thermal energy, or heat energy, causes molecules to move around quickly. As molecules absorb more thermal energy, they gain kinetic energy and their movement increases, leading to higher temperatures.


What does it mean if matter that was still begins to move?

it went from having potential to kinetic energy


While sleeping do you have kinetic energy?

Technically, yes, because you will move around in your sleep. And kinetic energy comes with movement. But if you're one of those people who can stay completely still, than no, no kinetic energy.


How can potencial energy change to kinetic energy?

yes it can, if you move the object it will gain kinetic energy
