Question

The main difference between heat and temperature is that temperature is solely dependent on the

A. composition of a body.
B. mass of a body.
C. state of matter.
D. velocity of molecules within a body.

Answer 1

This question is fishing for the answer 'D', but I hardly think
that's the 'main difference' between heat and temperature.

Answer 2

D. velocity of molecules within a body.

Step-by-step explanation

Heat is a form of energy while temperature is the degree of hotness of an object. When temperature of an object increases the kinetic energy of a molecules increases. This increases the velocity of the molecules.

So, we can say that the temperature is dependent on velocity of molecules within a body.
