kinetic energy, heat, and temperature

Question 1

definitions of kinetic energy and temperature

Answer 1

KINETC ENERGY energy that all moving objects possess; a particle has more kinetic energy when moving faster and less kinetic energy when moving slower
TEMPERATURE a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance

Question 2

describe the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature

Answer 2

when the temperature gets colder the particles slow down but kinetic energy keeps them moving.

when the temperature gets warmer the particles speed up and have more kinetic energy than when the temperature drops.

Question 3

definition of thermal energy

Answer 3

the total kinetic energy and energy of attraction of all the particles of a material.

Question 4

increasing and decreasing thermal energy

Answer 4

to increase the energy you must heat it.

to decrease the energy you must cool it.
