What happens when a solid absorbs energy?
Typically the solid will both increase in temperature and expand, as the heat energy delivered to the solid causes its molecules to vibrate faster and to increase their spacing.
What is the reverse energy that takes place called when an object strikes a solid object?
reflected
How does energy travel to Earth?
There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.
Give other instances of increasing a body's thermal energy by transferring heat?
Because it absorbs heat and changes from the solid to liquid state.
What happens when an object losses thermal energy?
Its temperature declines, and it may change phase ... from liquid to solid, or from gas to either liquid or solid.
Is solid carbon dixiode going to CO2 gas absorbing or releasing energy?
It absorbs energy.
What objects block light but also absorbs light?
Any solid black object does that.
What happens when a solid absorbs energy?
Typically the solid will both increase in temperature and expand, as the heat energy delivered to the solid causes its molecules to vibrate faster and to increase their spacing.
The change in which ice absorbs energy and melts is?
An endothermic change; or a change of state. Endothermic because it absorbs energy. Change of state because ti changes from a solid to a liquid.
When a solid is changed to a liquid phase the solid?
Some gasses turn into liquids when compressed (propane, butane), some turn into liquids when chilled to very cold temperatures (oxygen, nitrogen).
When a liquid absorbs enough energy it becomes gas?
this is a description of melting - when a solid absorbs energy - that is, gets hot - and becomes liquid - that is, it melts
Is thermal energy conducted through a solid object as kinetic energy?
yup
What is the reverse energy that takes place called when an object strikes a solid object?
reflected
What happens to the energy as a liquid melts?
The solid absorbs energy from the surroundings, causing the molecules to move around and no longer be in a tight structure (solid) but moving around fairly easy (liquid).
How does the sun's heat escape from your atmosphere?
heat will escape a window by conduction as is it a solid, if something is touching it, by convection, as a fluid (air included) moves past it, and by radiation since thermal energy will always flow from hot to cold.
What object contains chemical energy and then changes into thermal energy?
A match. Solid rocket fuel.
What change of state and what energy changes occur when water freezes?
the state change is from liquid to solid and the energy change is cold energy to heat energy
