Question

when thermal energy is removed from a material, how will the particle movement change? choose three correct answers from the following choices. p a the particles will move slower b the particles will bounce off the container walls more often c the particles will slide past each other more easily d the particles will get closer together or stay in a fixed position e the particles will vibrate less

Explanation:

Thermal energy is related to the kinetic energy of particles. When thermal energy is removed, kinetic energy decreases. Slower - moving particles vibrate less and may get closer or stay in a fixed position. Fewer collisions with container walls occur and they don't slide past each other more easily.

Answer:

A. The particles will move slower
D. The particles will get closer together or stay in a fixed position
E. The particles will vibrate less
