What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?

Answer:

Heat makes the particles in a solid vibrate faster, giving them more kinetic energy. Faster-vibrating particles bump into one another more often and hit each other harder. ... When a sample of solid, liquid, or gas matter cools down, it contracts. When matter cools down, its particles lose kinetic energy.
