Question

Study the scenario. The particles in a system are moving around very slowly. A few minutes later, the particles are moving, on average, much faster. How does this change in motion affect the temperature of the system? the temperature increase since the average kinetic energy of the particles increases the temperature remains the same since temperature is a measure of potential energy of a system, not the movement of its particles it is not possible to tell since temperature is a result of the fastest moving particles in a system, not the average the temperature decreases since the average kinetic energy of the particles increases

Answer 1

The average kinetic energy of the system has increased as a result of the temperature increasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a gas based on the framing.

The molecules of a gas span a distribution of speeds, and the average kinetic energy of the molecules is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the sample. KEavg is proportional to T.

This can be further studied until the Kinetic-Molecular Theory.
