Thermal Energy and Particles

What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as temperature INCREASE?

• The kinetic energy of particles remains the SAME.

• The kinetic energy of particles DECREASES.

• The kinetic energy of particles INCREASES.

• They vibrate faster.

• They start vibrating faster and then stop.

• They vibrate slower.

In our water and food coloring lab, why did the food coloring move more quickly throughout the hot water than it did in the cold water?

• The hot water has more kinetic energy

• Hot water has more molecules to move the food coloring

• Cold water has more thermal energy than the hot

• The cold water has more kinetic energy

A student heats 25 mL of water from 20°C to 96°C in a glass beaker. The model represents the motion of the water molecules during heating.

Why do some of the particles have longer arrows than other particles?

• The arrows represent the speed of the particles. The shorter the arrow the slower the speed.

• The arrows represent the length of the tail on the molecule. The longer the arrow, the longer the tail.

• The arrows represent which way the particles should go if they want to become super particles.
