Energy directly relates the the temperature of a substance. The more energy in is proportional to a higher temperature. The inverse is also true. When changing states you must use the formula Q=ML where Q is the energy in Jules, M is the mass in grams and L is the latent heat (fusion or vaporization) of the substance. This determines how much energy is needed to change state.

What is involved in the movement of matter and energy between reservoirs?

The movement of matter and energy between reservoirs involves processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and physical transport mechanisms like diffusion and convection. These processes transfer matter and energy between living organisms and their environment, maintaining balance in ecosystems and sustaining life.


What is potantail energy?

Potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position or state. It is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Potential energy can take different forms, such as gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, or chemical potential energy.


In science terms what is a closed sysytem?

A closed system is a system that can exchange energy (heat and work)with its surroundings, but can not exchange matter with its surrounding.A greenhouse to some extent can be thought of as a closed system exchanging heat with its surroundings.In general, a system is the part of the universe under consideration.Systems can be isolated, closed, or opened.An isolated system can not exchange energy, and can not exchange matter with its surroundings.In contrast, an opened system can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings.

What state of matter is a flame considered as?

A flame is not a substance like water or air. Rather, it is the result of heat and light energy so you can't really say what state of matter it is in. Think of it like this; asking what state of matter a flame is in would be like asking what state of matter light or heat are in. They are forms of energy, not substances.

Yes.

How are solid and gas related?

Solids and gases are both forms of matter. Solids are the state of matter when the molecules of a substance do not contain much energy and therefore are not in very motion and remain together in solid form together. Gas is the state of matter when molecules contain much more energy so that they are very active and constantly collide and drive each other a part making a gas not very dense.


Is zinc part of energy?

Zinc is a metal, therefore, matter. Since it is considered that all forms of matter are forms of energy, this can be answered "yes", but it is normally considered a "no" as Zinc is a form of matter moreso than energy. Short answer, "no".

Where will the God Particle be found?

The god particle or the higgs bosom will be fund within Gravity's Magnetism fields...magetism is part of gravity in a smaller scale- yet as anti-matter also known as dark energy is part responsible for the appearance of expansion of the universes' matter -- so is dark energy anti-matter part of magnetism and gravity. the god particle field is within magnetism's gravity there you'll find also dark energy or anti-matter... as well as the binding power of the higgs bosom particle.

Does kinetic energy fuel a drought?

No, droughts are caused when the normal or expected rainfall doesn't happen. This can be just a normal weather variation, of it might be part of the changing climate. It has nothing to do with kinetic energy, which is the energy from motion.


How do particles differ in states of matter?

The primary difference in particles in different sates of matter is their kinetic energy. Atoms and molecules in solids will have less kinetic energy (the energy of "vibration" or motion) than those same atoms and molecules will in the liquid state. In a gas, the atoms or molecules will have more energy than in the liquid state, and much more than in the solid state. That's the key here. There is a bit more to this in that the atoms and molecules in solids will be "bound together" more than in the liquid state. The solid has "structure" or "shape" because of the inter-atomic or intermolecular bonds. That changes in a liquid as liquids don't hold their shape, which you knew as a part of the definition of that state of matter. It's easy to see that the atoms and molecules will be even less strongly bound together in a gaseous state, and for the same reason. But atomic or molecular kinetic energy will keep atoms or molecules apart if it is high. And it will allow them to "come together" to interact and "hook up" if it is low.
