Answer:

in motion.

Explanation:

In chemistry, we often explain the states of matter in terms of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT). The word kinetic refers to motion and the kinetic molecular theory suggests that atoms and molecules are always in motion. The energy associated with this motion is termed kinetic energy.

Point out the following about solids: The particles (atoms or molecules) are attracted to each other. The particles (atoms or molecules) vibrate but do not move past one another. The solid retains its shape.

They are not always in motion. They are always in motion if and only if the temperature of the surroundings is greater than absolute zero ( 0 K ).

Not only are molecules really small but they are in constant motion. The motion is called “thermal motion” because it's caused by temperature. Increase the temperature around them and the molecules move faster.

If the mass of a moving object is doubled, which variable will also double? *
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

potential energy

Explanation:

this is because potential energy= mgh

so when m= 2m

p.e. = 2 times the previous value

Therefore , When mass is doubled , Potential energy gets doubled. When mass is halved , Potential energy decreases by half.

How much power is generated by doing 500 j of work in 30 seconds
navik [9.2K]
Power is energy/time where energy is in joules and time is in seconds. The units for power is watts, W.

P = 500J/30s = 16.67 W

Hope this helps!
