Compared to a cold fluid how would the particles in a hot fluids be moving?

Faster. This assumes the same type of atoms or molecules.

What law states all matter is made of small particles that are in motion?

I think you may be talking about the Kinetic theory of Molecules, which relates the temperature of matter (relative to absolute zero) to the average velocity of the molecules which make it up. For gases, it could be the Ideal Gas Law, which assumes that the gas is small particles whizzing around. You also may be thinking of Brownian Motion, which is not a law, but a phenomenon where extremely tiny particles can be observed to be buffeted by other random motion of molecules and particles.


What is the difference between caloric and kinetic theories?

The difference between caloric and kinetic theories is that:Caloric theory assumes that heat travels from one object to another by means of fluids.Kinetic theories assumes that heat is generated by the microscopic motion of atoms and molecules inside an object.

What determines kinetic energy of gases?

Gas particles are so small in relation to the distances between them that their individual volumes can be assumed to be insignificant. The large relative distances between the gas particles means that there is considerable empty space between the particles. This assumption that gas particles are far apart explains the important property of gas compressibility: A gas is easily compressed because of the space between the particles. Therefore, the energy of a collision is absorbed when the gas particles are forced closer together. The second property of gas particles assumed by the kinetic theory is that no attractive or repulsive forces exist between the particles. As a result, gases are free to move inside their containers. In fact, a gas expands until it takes the shape and volume of its container. The third assumption is that gas particles move rapidly in constant random motion. The particles travel in straight paths and move independently of each other. Only when a particle collides with another particle or object does it deviate from its straight line path. Kinetic theory assumes further that these collisions between gas particles are perfectly elastic, which means that during a collision the total amount of kinetic energy remains constant and that the kinetic energy is transferred without loss from one particle to another. You should also recall that the average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles in directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas.

How legal is a promise not to sue for negligence?

A properly constituted agreement not to sue is called a 'quitclaim' and is perfectly legal. This assumes you bothered to get it written down and signed. If someone just said "I promise not to sue you", then the burden of proof is likely going to fall on you.


Why are carbon dioxide and carbon particles more likely to be formed in engines than if the fuel was burnt in the open air?

Your question assumes that it is more likely for this to happen in engines. It is NOT more likely. Burning a fuel anywhere produces carbon dioxide. The formation of the carbon particles depends on the amount of oxygen available and the tepmerature of combustion.
