What causes the sensation of cold when you touch a ice cube?
loss of thermal energy from your finger.
What converts chemical energy to thermal energy?
chemical energy in batteries to thermal energy.
In dipole-dipole forces how thermal energy causes the molecules not to have perfect alignment?
Thermal energy increases the rotational or vibrational motion of molecules and because the intermolecules are not strong enough to hold them it changes their position to some extent and the alignment is
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called?
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
How do conduction convection and radiation causes thermal energy?
None of those processes causes or produces thermal energy. Each of them moves thermal energy from one place to another.
What is thermal energy used for?
Thermal energy is the moment of atoms and molecules in a substance that causes heat.
Does friction causes mechanical energy to be transformed into potential energy?
Thermal
What causes thermal energy always formed in an energy conversion?
friction
Which type of energy causes snow to melt?
Thermal.
What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.
What method causes thermal energy to move the air?
CONVECTION
What energy causes water to evaporate?
For evaporation water absorb thermal energy from the environment.
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
What causes thermal expansion of an object when its heated?
Kinetic Energy will [always] do this.
What causes therm energy?
Thermal energy is the result of the constant movement and vibrations of the atoms in a substance
What causes some of the potential energy of the moving roller coaster to be converted to thermal energy?
Friction
