What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?

Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.

What happens to matter to when you add thermal energy?
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
What happens to states of matter when you remove thermal energy?
When thermal energy is added the matter goes slower
When you add energy to matter What happens?
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
When thermal energy is removed from matter what happens to its temperature'?
it is hot temperature but when thermal energy leaves the temperature is cool
What happens to the particles when matter gets hotter?
The particles move faster. Thermal energy is a measure of kinetic energy of molecules.
What happens to matter to when you add thermal energy?
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
What happens to states of matter when you remove thermal energy?
When thermal energy is added the matter goes slower
Is light thermal energy?
Thermal energy is not light. It is heat! Energy of heat and temperature of matter (more heat=more thermal energy=more movement of molecules) Temperature measures movement of molecules
Explain how thermal energy exists in the motion of molecules of matter?
ahaha
When you add energy to matter What happens?

What is thermal energy?
related to the motion of molecules

What happens is energy is taken away from matter?
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
When thermal energy is removed from matter what happens to its temperature'?
it is hot temperature but when thermal energy leaves the temperature is cool
What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
What does thermal energy do to matter?
matter and thermal energy
