Answer:

The kinetic energy would be practically equal to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules in a system, that is to say that if the temperature increases so will do the kinetic energy and the molecules will move faster.

Absolute zero or 0 Kelvin is the lowest possible theoretical temperature. At this temperature the energy level of the system is as low as possible, so that the particles, according to classical mechanics, lack movement; however, according to quantum mechanics, absolute zero must have a residual energy.
