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.

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.


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 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.


If something is conductor of heat does it lose heat fast or slow?

If something is a good conductor of heat, it will lose heat faster than a poor conductor. This is because a good conductor allows heat to flow through it quickly, dispersing the heat energy more rapidly.


What happens when something burns and why does it produce heat and light?

When something burns, it undergoes a chemical reaction called combustion. During combustion, the material combines with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light. The heat is generated because the chemical bonds in the material are broken, releasing energy. The light is produced as a result of the high temperatures reached during the combustion process, causing the material to emit photons.

Can heat energy be converted to potential energy?

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


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.

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


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).


Explanatiin of how or why something happens?

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


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.


What happens if you heat the clay?

If something happens often it happens?

If it happens often, it happens commonly.
