Molecular Speed
The molecules of an object speed up.
What happens when an object gets warmer?
I have a sample at 6 degrees Celsius and a cup of water at 6 degrees Celsius and put them together.
What is an example of equilibrium?
The temperature of an object gets colder.
What happens when the molecules of an object slow down?
I have two equal-sized cups of water at 8 and 10 degrees Celsius and put them in contact.
What two cups have an equilibrium temperature of 9 degrees Celsius?
An object's molecules speed up after coming into contact with a warmer object.
What happens to the molecules of an object after it touches a warmer object?
I have two samples at 6 degrees Celsius, but the larger one has more molecules and more total kinetic energy.
What is an example of a larger sample having more thermal energy than a smaller sample?
