Answer:

The answer to your question is: false

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion, then when molecules have a higher movement the kinetic energy will be higher and when the molecules do not move, the kinetic energy will be lower.

Temperature increses movement of molecules, so, when a can is chilled, the kinetic energy will be lower than when it is at room temperature.
