What happens to the speeds of the particles when thermal conduction is occurring within a solid?

During thermal conduction in a solid, kinetic energy is transferred from faster-moving particles to slower-moving particles. This leads to an overall increase in the speed of slower particles and a decrease in the speed of faster particles, resulting in a more uniform distribution of particle speeds.


When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?

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.


How is thermal energy transferred among particles?

Thermal energy is temperature. Temperature is measured as the average kinetic energy of each particle, as a atom is always moving. The faster the atom's movement, the more energy, the higher the temperature. Thus, thermal energy is transferred when a fast moving atom comes into contact with a slower moving one, thus giving it some of its energy, making it move faster, making it hotter.


Substances with high thermal energy have fast moving particles but depend on mass (amount).?

Yes, substances with high thermal energy have particles that move quickly, but the amount of thermal energy also depends on the mass of the substance. More massive objects may have slower-moving particles than less massive objects with the same thermal energy.


How is temperature related to the kinetic energy of particles?

Temperature is directly related to the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster and have more kinetic energy. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the particles move slower and have less kinetic energy.

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

Increased energy makes particles move faster.


If thermal energy is added to matter do the particles move slower?

No - they speed up

What makes things hot or cold?

The thermal energy inside them. The more thermal energy you put in them (e.g. by heating them), the hotter they are going to become, and the stronger the particles that they are made of are going to wobble around. This thermal random motion of particles is called 'Brownian motion'. dunno


How are changes in thermal energy and state of matter realted?

If the thermal energy is higher, then the particles in the object move faster and want to get away from each other because it is so hot, thus, its a gas. If the thermal energy is lower, then the particles in the object move slower and form a solid shape, like they are huddling together, thus, its a solid. If the thermal energy is right in between the two above, then it is a liquid. A great example is H2O, it is the base measurement of density, when its thermal energy rises, it turns into water vapor, if its thermal energy lowers, it turns to ice.


Do particles get faster as they get hot?

Particles will move faster when heated and slower when cooled.This is the reason that solid objects grow larger when heated. The particles are moving so fast they are making ti expand. Paragraph by -- Kira2k


Do particles vibrate slower when heated?

No, particles actually vibrate faster when they are heated. This increase in vibration is due to the higher energy levels associated with the increase in temperature.
