Question

What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object nd the objects temperature?

a. the total kinetic energy of the molecules is not affected by a change in temperature.
b. as the kinetic energy of the modules decreases the temperature increases
c. as the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules increases
d. the kinetic energy always increases whether the temperature increases or decreases

Answer 1

It is C. An increase of temperature results in an increase in kinetic energy of the molecules of the substance. For example, in a gas the molecules will move about faster.
