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)

Question

The average temperature of the particles increased.

The average speed of the particles increased.

The kinetic energy of the particles decreased.

The potential energy of the particles decreased.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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!

Answer 6

Someone is 100% correct thank sm😘

Answer 7

someone is corect

Answer 8

@Someone is 100% correct

Answer 9

TYSM @Someone

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

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%

Answer 12

:3 100% Someone

Answer 13

thanks so much @Someone
