Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid. For a solid to change to a liquid, matter must absorb energy from its surroundings.
Answer:
<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster. Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
Kinetic energy is the energy the makes an object move.
Explanation:
Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves. These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd. You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.
Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave. In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium. Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.
