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.

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

Increased energy makes particles move faster.


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.


Fast particles colliding with slower particles is this type of heat transfer?

radiation air travels this way false or true?


What is the energy transfer as heat between particles as they collide within a substance or between two objects in contact?

This energy transfer as heat is called conduction. It occurs due to the collision of particles within a substance or between two objects in contact, leading to the transfer of kinetic energy from the faster-moving particles to the slower-moving particles, resulting in an overall increase in temperature in the substance or objects.


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.


Is the following sentence true or false the faster the particles of a substance are moving the more energy they have?

True. The kinetic energy of particles is directly proportional to their speed. As the particles move faster, their energy increases.


Explain how kinetic energy is transferred during conduction?

In conduction, kinetic energy is transferred through direct contact between particles. When two objects at different temperatures come into contact, faster-moving particles in the warmer object collide with slower-moving particles in the cooler object, transferring kinetic energy and increasing the temperature of the cooler object until the thermal equilibrium is reached.


Does Temperature increases or decrease when particles are moving faster on average?

Temperature increases when particles are moving faster on average. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. As particles move faster, they have higher kinetic energy, leading to an increase in temperature.


Why does temperature affect the viscosity of a gas?

Temperature affects the viscosity of a gas because it influences the speed and energy of the gas particles. As temperature increases, the gas particles move faster and with more energy, resulting in lower viscosity. This is because the faster-moving particles collide with each other less frequently, reducing friction and making the gas less viscous.


How the temperature related to the kinetic energy ofparticles?

Temperature is directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Higher temperature means higher kinetic energy, as particles move faster and collide more frequently with each other. Conversely, lower temperature results in lower kinetic energy, with particles moving slower and colliding less.


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.


If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?

the hotter it is, the faster they are moving
