What happens to particles in matter when you remove thermal energy from them?
They stop moving and stop producing energy.
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
As the thermal energy of matter increases, its particles usually spread out, causing?
thermal expansion.
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
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.
What happens to particles in matter when you remove thermal energy from them?
They stop moving and stop producing energy.
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
As the thermal energy of matter increases, its particles usually spread out, causing?
thermal expansion.
A measure of the average thermal energy to an object the particles moving in matter is called what?
energy
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
How is thermal energy different from temperature How are they similar?
temperatures differ from thermal energy because differ because thermal energy is the total energy of all particles in an object and temperature is a measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter.
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.
When you add energy to matter What happens?
when you add thermal energy to matter, the matter starts moving faster.
If thermal energy is added to matter do the particles move slower?
No - they speed up
