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 microscopic level led to the visible changes in the properties of the metal

the kinetic energy of the particles decreased
the potential energy of the particles decreased
the individual temperature of the particles increased
the average speed of the particles increased

6 answers

The individual temperature of the particles increased.
which statement best describes heat

heat flows from cold to hot and is a form of thermal energy
heat flows from hot to cold and is the transfer of thermal energy
heat flows from cold to hot and is the transfer of thermal energy
heat flows from hot to cold and is a form of thermal energy
Heat flows from hot to cold and is the transfer of thermal energy.
what is thermal energy

a distance between particles and their freedom to move around
the measurement of energy in an object due to position, conduction, or chemical composition
the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance
a material that is a conductor of heat
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.
The answers for the whole quick check is actually :
1. Which option is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance? Answer is: Temperature
2. 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.
