It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.

If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?

the hotter it is, the faster they are moving


If the particles of a substance are moving faster do they have more energy?

Yes, generally the faster molecules are moving, the greater their energy. This manifests as higher temperature, and (for gases) higher pressure.


What does heat energy do to a material?

all particle made up of particles,.whena material give more heat energy the particles move faster faster moving particles give them a high temperature..when heat energy is taken away from particles they slow down and so amterial has low temperature.in any material there must be some particles which are slower moving and having less energy and some are fast moving having high energy .


How does the particle theory relate to heat transfer?

the amount of "heat" that a particle has is really dependent on how fast that particle is moving. Heat is really just the motion of particles. So, one particle can transfer heat (motion/speed) to another by colliding with it. Just like a someone throwing a billiard ball into a second billiard ball. Before the 2 balls collide, the one you threw (moving faster) is the hot particle and the stationary ball (not moving/slow) is the cold one. After the collision both balls will be moving. So some heat (motion) was transferred from one ball to the other. When you fry bacon on a stove, the fast moving particles of the pan collide with the bacon particles, causing them to move faster. If the bacon particles move faster, they are hotter. NOW GO READ YOUR CHEMISTRY BOOK!


What is energy produced by moving particles?

thermal energy

Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?

Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.


Does increased energy increased that particles are moving faster r slower?

Increased energy makes particles move faster.

Is it true that slow-moving objects have more kinetic energy then fast moving objects?

Faster particles have more energy than slower particles, yes.


Why need high temperature in diffusion process?

probably because the particles move faster when they have more energy. If the particles are moving faster then they will mix (diffuse) faster.


Do the faster the particles of a substance are moving the more energy they have?

Yes, generally the faster molecules are moving, the greater their energy. This manifests as higher temperature, and (for gases) higher pressure.

What does the movement of the particles suggest about the water particles at the bottom of the container when heat is applied?

They are getting faster because of the energy that is added. But they collide with other particles and exchange energy that way. So all the water gets heated. But actually you can not just talk about the bottom particles, because they are moving really fast and random, so in a short time they can be on top and the otherway around.


What does heat do to the particles in ice?

Heat energy makes the particles in matter move faster. The more heat, the faster the particles move.
