They are on the last level of the atoms
Answer:
The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.
Explanation:
There will be a transfer of thermal energy (heat) from the hot metal plate to the surrounding air. This transfer of energy equates to a transfer of kinetic energy in the molecules. As the plate loses heat, the molecules in the plate will lose kinetic energy and slow down. As the surrounding air gains heat, the molecules will gain kinetic energy and speed up.
A. increases
As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object will increase. If the temperature of an object doesn't change, the thermal energy will increase as the mass of the object increases.
