What happens to the temperature of a substance when it is changing state of matter?

Solid substances have molecules held tightly and close together
Liquid substances have molecules moving loosely
Gaseous molecules are moving completely freely

As moleclues get further apart, i.e. As a substance changes state from solid to liquid to gas, molecules gain kinetic energy and vibrate/move more. This means they gain heat energy (the averge energy a substance has) so the temperature increases

Substances exist in different states at different temperatures and different substances will exist in different states at the same temperature. This is to do with the forces between molecules and how much heat (energy) is required to break them

Acceleration is the change of velocity, and velocity is the change of distance. The opposite of finding change, or differentiation, is integration.

Acceleration = 1.3 m/s²

Velocity: ∫ 1.3 dx = 1.3x + c m/s

Distance: ∫ 1.3x dx = 1.3x²/2 + c m

Distance run: 1.3*3²/2 = 5.85 m

Heat gained minus work fine is equal to what?

Zina [86]

Heat transferred - Work done = Internal Energy

Explanation:

If there is more heat transfer than the work done, the energy difference is called internal energy
The first law of thermodynamics equation is given as ΔU=Q−W where, ΔU = Internal energy; Q = Heat transfer; W = Work done
Heat = transfer of thermal energy between two bodies at different temperatures
Work = force used to transfer energy between a system and its surroundings
The First Law of Thermodynamics states - energy can be converted from one form to another with the interaction of heat, work and internal energy
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
