Follow up

Now that we've completed a number of explorations about how forces such as gravity, as well as forces between particles change the way particles behave, answer the questions below:

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

While water didn't evaporate quickly when it was placed on the table, how might we speed up this process? Be sure to explain your answer from a particle perspective!

What would happen if we placed a fan so that it continually blew air over the puddle of water on the table. How would this impact evaporation? How would this change the way the particles interacted?

What would happen if the puddle of water was on a hot plate that was slowly increasing in temperature. How would this impact evaporation? How would this change the way the particles interacted?

If we wanted to keep the water from evaporating, what are some ways we could accomplish this? Be sure to explain your answer from a particle perspective!
