Answer:

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so this makes sense – as things heat up, they move faster. All gases at the same temperature have the same average kinetic energy. A gas’s temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles. So if two gases are at the same temperature, they must have the same average kinetic energy.
