Question

Describe the relationship between temperature and energy

Answer 1

KE ^ = TEMP ^

Explanation

In simple terms, temp is the average KE of the particles in a substance. The higher the KE, the higher the temp and the lower the KE, the lower the temp. :)

btw KE= kinetic energy

Answer 2

The Temperature is the measure of Average Kinetic Energy of the molecule in the substance.

Temperature and Kinetic Energy of molecules are related by the equation

`<E> = (3)/(2) kT`

Where

<E> denotes average kinetic energy

k - Boltzmann constant

T - Temperature of the substance

Step-by-step explanation:

The energy inside the substance is characterised by translational and vibrational motion.

The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

As the molecules of a substance vibrate faster their temperature increases.

Thus an increase energy corresponds to an increase in temperature

<E> α T (α denotes proportionality)

`<E> = (3)/(2) kT`
