Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is an indirect measure of the energy contained in a substance. For example, temperature is related to the kinetic energy of a gas (KE) as follows:

KE = 3/2 RT

Here, R is the ideal gas constant. The temperature is related to the kinetic energy through a constant factor.
