Particles inside that "something" start to vibrate when they receive the thermal energy that you just applied. This may or may not cause that "something" to change its physical composition and state. It all depends on how much you heat you apply.

It contracts.


What happens to heat energy when you freeze something?

When you freeze something, heat energy is removed from the object, causing its temperature to decrease. This heat energy is transferred to the surroundings, typically the freezer, and it is dissipated as it cools the object, eventually causing it to reach its freezing point and solidify.


Can heat energy be converted to potential energy?

Yes. This happens, for example, when steam is used to raise something like a balloon.


What happens to heat energy when something cools off?

When something cools off, the heat energy within the object is transferred to its surroundings. This process continues until the object and its surroundings reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they have the same temperature.


What if something happens to you?

if something happens to you it oviesly matters but it depends on what happens to you on what you do.


What is it when something absorbs heat?

When something absorbs heat, it undergoes a process called endothermic reaction, where it takes in thermal energy from its surroundings. This absorption of heat leads to an increase in temperature or a change in state, such as melting or vaporization.


Why solid expand when it's heated?

heat its self is just an illusion when ever something is heat all that happens is the molecules become energized and vibrate more causeing them to spread out and thus expand


Explanatiin of how or why something happens?

an explanation of how or why something happens is called a hypothesis.


What happens when heat is added to something?

Then it will either get hotter, or change its phase (for example, ice at zero degrees will convert to water, also at zero degrees).

When you heat clay it turns into a pot


What happens when heatenergy is used?

Some energy is converted to light or motion or something, but all heat dissipates into the billions of objects in the universe causing an increase in entropy (disorder of the universe). This is referred to as the heat death of the universe.


If something happens often it happens?

If it happens often, it happens commonly.
