What have the greatest velocity if each atom had the same kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy depends (increases with) both speed and mass. Therefore, if two different atoms have the same kinetic energy, the lighter atom would need to have a greater speed, to compensate.
Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of gas contained in a box?
Average Kinetic Energy is determined by the temperate of the gas. The higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.Total Kinetic Energy is the average kinetic energy multiplied by the mass - the number of gas molecules in the box.- DENNIS LAM
What instrument is used to measure average kinetic energy in a substance?
Some forms of energy can be measured using different devices:Average kinetic energy of a particle - thermometerSound energy - ear, other audio devicesmany many more different ways...There are different types of energy, each is calculated in a different way.uhm guys it depends on the typ eof energy that u mean.its a thermometerwe use a hydrometer
When energy enters a substance what is it called?
The electrons of different atoms start moving due to the change in kinetic energy. This produces a rise in the temperature of the substance. Each substance will have different reactions to the temperature changes{THIS WAS NOT MY ANSWER}
What are three basic forms of energy and an example of each?
kinetic energypotential energyradiant energy
How are potential kinetic energy different from each other?
Difference is that kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential is stored energy.
What have the greatest velocity if each atom had the same kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy depends (increases with) both speed and mass. Therefore, if two different atoms have the same kinetic energy, the lighter atom would need to have a greater speed, to compensate.
How are temperature and kinetic energy related to each other?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of an object.
How is temperature of an object related to its kinetic energy?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of each individual particle inside an object.
Kinetic energy differs from chemical energy because?
Different types of energies differ from each other due to the forms in which they exist. In this case :Kinetic Energy is a form of energy which is possessed by one during his relative motion.Chemical Energy is mainly due to strength of the chemical bonds in the substances.
How does kinetic energy change with each state of matter?
When any substance goes from solid to liquid to gas, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.Molecules in the gaseous state have the most kinetic energy.Molecules in the solid state have the least kinetic energy.
