Answer:

Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of a gas contained in a box. As an average K.E. of the particles increases, the object's temperature increases. Total Kinetic Energy is the sum of energy. Explain how a liquid thermometer measure temperature.

The total kinetic energy of a body or a system is equal to the sum of the kinetic energies resulting from each type of motion.
