Question

Which statement gives the main idea of the kinetic theory of heat?

When objects are heated, particles slow down.


Colder objects emit more radiation than hotter ones.


Heat flows from warmer to colder objects.


Heat is transferred by the interaction of moving particles.

Answer 1

The best option is "Heat is transferred by the interaction of moving particles."

Step-by-step explanation:

The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Heat states that molecules in a fluid increase their speed as temperature increases.

Kinetic theory of heat is a theory that the temperature of a body is determined by the average kinetic energy of its particles and that an inflow of heat increases this energy.

Heat and temperature are related to each other, but are different concepts.

1. Heat is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance.

2. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object.

Also heat can be transferred but temperature can't be transferred.
