Step-by-step explanation:

the temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the sample.

when any sample is heated then the molecules of the sample get some energy and they move all around it. it could be translational and rotational or vibrational.

Thus, the temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of a sample.
