Step-by-step explanation:

Relation between kinetic energy and temperature is as follows.


K.E \propto (3)/(2)kT

As, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

During cooling of a substance there occurs a decrease in temperature of the substance. This means that when tea was cooled down then its temperature also decreases.

As a result, the kinetic energy of its particles will also decrease.

Therefore, we can conclude that the effect of cooling on the tea will be that its particles will have less kinetic energy.
