The speed of particles that escape from the surface of a drop depends on the kinetic energy of the particles which is influenced by factors such as temperature and intermolecular forces. Higher temperatures and weaker intermolecular forces can increase the speed of particles escaping from the drop's surface.

If liquid evaporates what happens?

In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.


Why is evaporation a surface phenomenon?

evaporation is called a surface phenomenon because the particles of liquid gain energy from the surroundings , having higher kinetic energy, is able to break the away from the forces of attraction of other particle . that is why it is called a surface phenomenon

If you were able to measure the motion of all particles of a sample and you use data to find the average you would actually be measuring?

The average velocity of the particles in the sample. By measuring the motion of each particle and calculating the average, you can determine the typical speed and direction of motion for the particles in the sample.


How fast does an object need to travel to defy gravity?

An object leaving the surface of the Earth would need to move at about 11.2 km (7 miles) per second ... about 34 times the speed of sound! If it did that, (and if there were no air dragging on it), then it could shut off the rocket engines, and gravity could never pull it back to earth. If the object is already some distance above Earth's surface, then the required speed is less.

What are the causes of evaporation?

Some molecules from the surface of the liquid gain more energy and are able to escape in the atmosphere.

Why evaporation is called a surface phenomenon?

Evaporation can only take place on the surface of liquids because that is where the molecules with the highest kinetic are found. Only molecules with high kinetic energy are free to escape into the atmosphere.


What is the one way surface of a black hole called?

Although it is not a tangible or material surface, the notional radial distance from the singularity at the center of the black hole at which the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light is referred to as the event horizon, a supposed point of no return such that infalling matter, once it enters, cannot escape, since it should not be able to exceed the speed of light. Typically it would be a spherical or oblate spheroidal in shape.

Is it possible to travel half the speed of light?

Yes it absolutely is, however, this is not for humans. At particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, physics are able to send particles 99.99999% the speed of light. The particles are only 3 meters per second slower than light itself. In turn, physics are able to shoot a particle half the speed of light approx. 150,000 meters per second.


What is meant by the 'escape velocity' of a rocket leaving the earth?

There is a speed, about seven miles a second, that if reached, will allow an object to overcome the earth's gravitational pull and continue into space. Rockets don't actually need to do this speed, since their objective is usually to establish an orbit around the earth.
