Question

As particles of matter move faster, an object's

increases.
particle arrangement
temperature
O particle attraction
O potential energy

Answer 1

temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The movement of particles in an object is directly proportional to the temperature of the object. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy increases too. This makes the last option (potential energy) incorrect.

The increased kinetic energy results to particles moving farther from each other, which means the particle attraction becomes weaker. This makes the third option (particle attraction) incorrect.

The particle arrangement shows the particles being widely separated. Therefore the arrangement decreases because they become less intact. This makes the first option (particle arrangement) incorrect.
