Chapter 5.1, Problem 4R

To determine

Explain how the motion of the particles that makes up an object change when the object's temperature increases.

Answer to Problem 4R

The motion of the particle increases when the temperature increases.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The kinetic energy of the particles of some object is changes with respect to the change in temperature.

The motions of the particles changes for an object when its temperatures increases. The change in the particle is due to thermal excitement in the particle which inducts kinetic energy in them. The rest particles cannot move without any energy. The thermal ignition to the particle provides them some energy so they move. If the temperature the of object increases then this will lead to increase the motion of the particle. The kinetic energy of particle is directly proportional to the temperature change.

Conclusion:

Hence, the motion of the particle increases when the temperature increases and the motion decrease when the temperature decreases.
