When you heat an object, you are transferring heat from your heating source (for instance, a stove) to your object. Temperature is a measure of kinetic energy, so when you heat an object, you are increasing the kinetic energy of that object. However, this is not always visible to the eye. Sometimes, though, we see this increase in kinetic energy in the form of expansion or a phase transition. An increase in kinetic energy causes molecules to move faster, so if you heated the gas inside a balloon, the balloon would expand from all the molecules moving faster. Likewise, when you heat water, it may boil into a gas because the molecules are moving away from each other as they increase in kinetic energy.

The heat energy increases the kinetic energy - energy of movement - of the particles (atoms or molecules) of the material. As reviously mentioned this might be enough to cause a phase change such as boiling water to form steam.

The heating you talk over with is led to by potential of the friction of the asteroid passing by way of gasoline molecules in an environment. In area there is not any environment, or a minimum of the type of teeny weeny quantity of gasoline that it has no result to talk of. area is quite, very chilly; something like minus 240 levels F, or chillier. gadgets fly by way of area without encountering any friction by using quite much finished vacuum that exists there. The acceleration you reported can merely be led to by potential of the gravitational pull of a few great merchandise quite interior sight.

When you are heating an object the heat goes into the object. duh
