Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When heat is added/absorbed, the temperature of matter increases and the particles ____
A
speed up and move closer
B
speed up and move farther apart
C
slow down and move closer together
D
slow down and move farther apart
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Heat, once absorbed as energy, contributes to the overall internal energy of the object. One form of this internal energy is kinetic energy; the particles begin to move faster, resulting in a greater kinetic energy. This more vigorous motion of particles is reflected by a temperature increase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy. 6 min, 47 sec. Heat Energy-Science for Kids.
