Question
13 fill in the blank 1 point what happens to the kinetic energy in water if you place the water in the freezer, does it increase, decrease, or stay the same? answer: answer increase stay the same decrease previous
Kinetic energy of particles (like water molecules) is related to temperature. Placing water in a freezer lowers its temperature. As temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of molecules decreases because kinetic energy is proportional to temperature (for ideal gases, and approximately for liquids/solids in terms of molecular motion). So the kinetic energy in water decreases.
