K.E. = 3/2 KT

Kinetic Energy is directly proportional to Temperature

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

The relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object and the objects temperature is as follows;


K.E=(3)/(2)kT

Here, k is the boltzmann constant and T is the temeprature.

Kinetic energy of the molecules is the energy due to the motion of the molecules. Kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the temperature. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases.
