Sentences with phrase «average kinetic energy»

Also, as the faster - moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid thus decreases.

If two bodies have the same average kinetic energy of their atoms, the will have the same temperature no matter how large [i.e. how much mass] the bodies are.

The answer is that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas atoms, that is, a measure of how fast they are moving.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the random motions of the particles, or atoms that make up a material.

(The temperature of air depends on the average kinetic energy of its molecules.)

All particles do not have the same amount of kinetic energy, so when we measure temperature of a substance, we're finding the average kinetic energy of its particles.

With kinetic energy expended by air molecules to push out the sides of the expanding parcel, the temperature of the air inside the parcel decreases (recall that temperature corresponds to the average kinetic energy of molecules).

Even more importantly thermodynamically (I was lucky enough to have a friend and personal mentor who is an expert in thermodynamics) how are such alleged changes in the statistical state field (temperature) or as commonly referred to as the average kinetic energy (motions) of molecules (a state function) being raised via a heating process (a path function) justifiable as per the laws of thermodynamics?

Temperature and Thermal Energy TEMPERATURE - a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles.

As we have seen that the temperature is an average energy, and that it is defined only under LTE conditions, it is possible to link the average kinetic energy to the temperature.

The thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide is less because its average velocity at the same temperature is less than that of nitrogen or oxygen even though the average kinetic energies are the same.

Temperature does not measure «how much heat» something holds, but rather is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system.

He said we indeed can measure the average kinetic energy.

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter, expressed in terms of units or degrees designated on a standard scale.
