Think about the equation for kinetic energy, KE - mv?. Given that an increase in temperature increases kinetic

energy, what would happen to the particle speed if the temperature of the room was increased?

Answer:

The correct answer would be - the speed of particles will increase and move faster.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know and also given that increase in temperature leads to an increase in kinetic energy that is used by particles and the speed of the particles move faster.

However, the mass of the particle is the main factor that is responsible for the speed of the particles and the temperature at which they are present. High temperatures and small particles lead to an increase in the speed of particles.
