Waves transport what over great distances?

Waves transport energy over great distances. This energy can generate movement in water, such as in ocean waves, or transfer information in electromagnetic waves, like radio or light waves.


What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?

Solids have the lowest kinetic energy as their particles are tightly packed and have limited motion. Liquids have higher kinetic energy than solids as their particles can move past each other. Gases have the highest kinetic energy as their particles are far apart and move freely.


What type of energy travels as vibrations through solids liquids and gases?

Mechanical energy travels as vibrations through solids, liquids, and gases. This can take the form of sound waves moving through a medium.


Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?

Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.


Why are solids better heat conductors than liquids?

Solids are better heat conductors than liquids because in solids, particles are closely packed together and can transfer heat more easily through vibrations. In liquids, particles are more spread out and move more freely, making it harder for heat to transfer effectively. Additionally, solids generally have higher thermal conductivity compared to liquids.

How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?

Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex


How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?

The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.


What is it called when energy is added to liquids and solids?

Heating.


Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?

The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.

How can waves transport energy without trasporting matter from place to another?

When the waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases, matter is not carried along with the waves. The energy is then passed from molecule to molecule as the wave spreads out.


How is energy involved in changing form among solids liquids and gases?

Because there is a freezing point, a boiling point so Solids can change into liquids and liquids can change into gases and all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Do liquids and solids diffuse easily?

No, liquids and solids do not diffuse as easily as gases due to their tightly packed molecular structure and lower kinetic energy. Diffusion in liquids is generally slower than in gases, but it can still occur over time. In solids, diffusion is even slower due to the rigid arrangement of molecules.
