Answer:

Kinetic energy of a system .

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

The temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system as long as it accounts for the movement of the particles composing the system, thus, the higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy as the atoms or molecules could move faster and vigorously.

Best regards.
