Is the following sentence true or false?
The faster the particles of a substance are moving, the more energy they have.
Answer (3)
I think true. I'm pretty sure, but check w/ others too.
The statement is correct. In physics, a particle's kinetic energy, which contributes to its overall energy, is directly related to its speed. Thus, faster-moving particles have more energy. ;
The statement is true; the faster the particles of a substance move, the more kinetic energy they possess. This is due to the relationship between speed and kinetic energy, described by the formula K E = 2 1 m v 2 . The average kinetic energy of particles also reflects the temperature of the substance, meaning higher temperatures correspond to faster-moving particles.
