What effect would decreasing temperature have on Brownian motion?

Answer 1

Since Brownian movement is the "random movement" of particles, and temperature measures the movement of molecules, as you decrease temperature, you decrease Brownian movement.

Think of it in terms of ice/water. When you decrease the temperature of water to make ice, what are you doing? Well, when water is in ice form, its particles are closer together and you can say its particles are moving less, or, it has less Brownian movement

Answer 2

haha, depends on the context...
and im guessing physics.... if so than yes, defiantly.
-when one heats/cools a substance, the molecules speed up or slow down.... the more the molecules bump (higher temp) the faster a substance diffuses, same with the cooling, cept a backwards effect.

and if economics........ maaaybe, its a strech.

Answer 3

Particles will move more slowly because the water molecules will be slowed down -- not as many bumps.
