EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -The particles that make up matter are also constantly moving. They have kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy of moving matter is called kinetic energy. Scientists think that the particles of all matter are in constant motion. In other words, the particles of matter have kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy is a property that matter has. The same amount matter can have different amounts of energy and so represent different states of matter. For example, if you add energy to an ice cube made of water, it becomes liquid water, and if you add even more energy, it becomes steam.

Detailed explanation-5: -Matter includes anything that has mass. Energy describes the ability to do work. While matter may contain energy, the two are different from one another. One easy way to tell matter and energy apart is to ask yourself whether what you observe has mass.
