When energy is lost from matter, it can result in a decrease in the speed or movement of the particles within the matter. This can lead to a decrease in temperature or a change in state (e.g. solid to liquid). The lost energy is typically converted into other forms, such as heat or radiation.

What happens to matter when it is converted in a nuclear reaction?

In a nuclear reaction, matter is converted into energy.


What happens when matter is heated What happens to its energy?

When matter is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy, causing them to move faster and vibrate more. This increase in energy leads to a rise in temperature and can result in changes in the physical state of the matter, such as melting or boiling. The energy that is added to the matter during heating is stored within the particles as heat energy.


When you add energy to matter What happens?

when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.


What happens to energy that seems to be lost in an energy chain?

Energy is NEVER lost in an energy chain. It is simply converted into a different source of energy or matter. For example, in swing, a person would get on, and use mechanical energy to power it so it can move. What people don't realize is that on the top, the metal chains that hold the swing together also moves along with the swing. Up there, the mechanical energy that moves the chains a little, and friction starts to occur. But that's not it. Instead of helping with the movement below, frictional force above the swing causes energy to be somehow "lost" in the trail. That's not true at all. The energy "lost" is converted into heat in the process.


What happens to matter to when you add thermal energy?

When thermal energy is added to matter, the particles within the matter gain kinetic energy and move faster. This increased movement causes the particles to spread out, leading to a change in phase (e.g., solid to liquid or liquid to gas) or an increase in temperature. Ultimately, thermal energy causes matter to change its physical state or temperature.

What happens to the energy level as you move up the energy pyramid?

10% of energy is lost as you move from 1 level to the next. So at the end 90% if the energy will be lost as heat.

What happens when matter cools?

One thing that happens is that the molecules in the matter lose energy and momentum and slow down, therefore the matter becomes more compact.


What happens when particle of matter have less energy?

it will move slower.
