Question

What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object and the object's temperature?

A)As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.


B)The kinetic energy always increases whether the temperature increases or decreases.


C)As the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases, the temperature increases.


D)The total kinetic energy of the molecules is not affected by a change in temperature.

Answer 1

Answer: As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

Answer to all questions --- 5.04 Quiz: Temp N Heat (K12)

1. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

2. The temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.

3. The object's particles move slower.

4. You would multiply the number by 9/5 and then add 32.

5. 373 Kelvin, 100 degrees Celsius, 212 degrees Fahrenheit

I took K12 test, and got 5/5 - A Hope this helped

Answer 2

Answer: A) As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object. Molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they do not all move at the same rate. At the moment when the material absorbs energy, the particles move faster, so that the average kinetic energy, and thus the temperature, increases.
