What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

When all molecular motion stops, the temperature stop charging.
As molecules move more quickly, temperature increases.
When all molecular motion stops, the temperature starts to decrease.
As a molecules slow down, temperature starts to increase.

Answer:

As molecules move more quickly, temperature increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Some examples of a conductor are metals, copper, aluminum, graphite, etc.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Hence, the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy is that as molecules move more quickly, temperature increases due to the absorption of heat.
