yes becuase when the molecules in steam move faster than molecules in water and this creates more pressure

Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
What has the more heat energy at 100 degrees Celsius water or steam?
steam. It has to go through a phase change, which takes additional energy to get there.
What is the best summary of kinetic energy?
The best summary of kinetic energy is energy of motion. Kinetic energy is only present where there is motion in an object. Friction generates more kinetic energy.
Which contains more heat energy water at 373K or steam at 373K Why?
it is steam because it occupies latent heat of fusion ..............
Which type of energy does a moving object have?
Kinetic Energy, or KE, is the energy objects have when in basic motion. If you are talking about the movement of particles in the object, creating heat, it is IE, Internal Energy. and FYI, Potential Energy, PE, is the energy an object has in accordance to its position.
The kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid state is more than in the solid state comment?
If you freeze water you are removing a particle's kinetic energy from the system that is in the form of heat energy. So as you heat up ice you are giving the water molecules more thermal kinetic energy so it transitions to water. If you keep pumping in heat (energy) these molecules will eventually have so much energy it will vaporize and turn to steam.
Why steam at 100 degree centigrade produces more severe burns then boiling water at 100 degree centigrade?
Steam has enough kinetic energy to leave the liquid water that is boiling, so it's greater amount of energy results in more severe burns than boiling water, which has a lower amount of energy.
Which has more kinetic energy the molecules in a gram of ice or a gram of steam?
One gram of steam has more kinetic energy. Remember, K = (1/2)mv^2. If the mass is the same, it depends on the velocity. Steam molecules move a whole lot more/faster than ice molecules.
Is steam a fuel?
No. it is an energy repository. Fuels of various kinds are used to heat water into steam. the steam has more energy than the water.
Why steam causes more severe burns than boiling water. give reason.?
So, steam must lose its heat of vaporization. Think about how it would lose it. Where would all that energy go? It condenses by inputting all the potential energy it has by being a gas into the skin of the person who touches it. Therefore even though steam only has slightly more kinetic energy than almost boiling water, it has a lot more total energy.
Does steam have more energy than water?
No. Assuming you have the same mass of each steam has more energy than hot water, because water needs to gain energy in order to evaporate.
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL
What Water molecules in ice have more kinetic energy that water molecule and vapor?
more
How is nuclear fission used in nuclear power?
Nuclear fission is the process of an atomic nucleus splitting into two or more constituent parts (fission fragments). Nuclides with large mass are typically used, when these split they have an excess of energy that is apparent as the kinetic energy (related to the speed) of the constituent fragments. This excess kinetic energy is gradually dissipated - a temperature rise in the material (temperature being a pseudo-measure of average kinetic energy). The material is water-cooled; the heat-energy is transferred to the water-cooling system, gradually turning the water into steam. The steam drives a turbine that generates electricity. Steam turbines are used in many types of power station and are not peculiar to nuclear power.
Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
Does warm or cold water have more kinetic energy?
well considering kinetic energy is the energy something has when it is moving than i would say cold because it runs more and drips faster
How does the water warm up?
Thermal energy applied to the water is transformed into kinetic energy by the water molecules. The water molecules have more energy so the temperature increases.
