A blacksmith strikes a piece of metal with a hammer repeatedly. The metal slowly begins to glow as the temperature increases, and the metal becomes more malleable. Which changes on a microscopic level led to the visible changes in the properties of the metal? (1 point)

The average speed of the particles increased.

This is a trick question. The first answer on average temperature is good, but at the microscopic level you can't detect temperature directly.

sooo....What does that mean???

I am also Confused on what the answers is for this on??

Oh nvm.....lol i was being stupid lol

1.temperature

2.the average speed of the particles increased
3.Heat flows from hot to cold and is the transfer of thermal energy.
4.The molecules will have more potential energy because of their arrangement.
I just took the test and got 100% with these answers!

Someone is 100% correct thank sm😘

someone is corect

@Someone is 100% correct

TYSM @Someone

wrong. The definition of thermal energy is the total energy of the particles of a substance. >:(

so basically its

1.) C - Temperature
2.) B - The average speed of particles increased
3.) C - Heat flows from hot to cold and is the transfer of thermal energy
4.) A - The total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance

if your quick check looks like this then you should get a 100%

:3 100% Someone

thanks so much @Someone

NEveR GonNA GIvE You uP

@Someone, @Anonymous thank you guys!
