The speed of particles in the freezer compartment is different from those in the fridge due to the difference in temperature.
1. In the freezer compartment, the temperature is -5 °C, which is lower than the temperature in the fridge, which is 5 °C.
2. At lower temperatures, the particles in the freezer compartment have less kinetic energy compared to the particles in the fridge at a higher temperature.
3. Since temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles, the lower temperature in the freezer means that the particles there move more slowly on average.
4. In contrast, the higher temperature in the fridge results in the particles having higher average kinetic energy and therefore moving at a faster speed compared to the particles in the freezer.
5. This difference in kinetic energy and speed of particles between the freezer compartment and the fridge is a result of the temperature variance and its impact on particle motion.
