Answer: SAMPLE RESPONSE: The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.

The average kinetic energy and thermal energy decreases, and the temperature decreases as well.
