Question

the relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy is directly proportional

is the statement true or false

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The statement is generally true. The kinetic energy and thermal energy of a system are related. As the kinetic energy of the particles in a system increases, the thermal energy also increases. This relationship is often described as being directly proportional.

The statement is true. The relationship between kinetic energy and thermal energy is directly proportional.

Answer 3

.

If there has been an increase of potential energy in the molecules of a substance, what has occurred?

The substance has cooled down.

The substance has undergone a phase change.

The substance has evaporated.

The substance has gained kinetic energy.

Answer 4

Explain why the potential energy increases when ice starts to melt an becomes liquid water.

The particles form a more ordered structure, reducing potential energy.

The particles slow down, reducing kinetic energy.

The particles get closer together, reducing potential energy.

The particles gain kinetic energy, increasing their freedom to move.
