2. How are temperature and kinetic energy related?
A. As the temperature of an substance increases, the average kinetic energy of its
atoms also increases.
B. As the temperature of a substance increases, the average kinetic energy of its
atoms decreases.
C. As the temperature of a substance increases, the average kinetic energy of its
atoms increases, but only to a certain point.
D. There is no relationship between the temperature of a substance and the
average kinetic energy of its particles.
