Question

joshua is preparing a report to show the relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature. is his graph accurate? explain your answer.

Explanation:

The graph is not accurate. The relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature is direct, but the graph has the axes labeled incorrectly. The independent variable (average kinetic energy) should be on the x - axis and the dependent variable (temperature) on the y - axis. Also, the graph should pass through the origin because when the average kinetic energy is zero (at absolute zero temperature), the temperature is also zero.

Answer:

No, the graph is not accurate. The axes are mis - labeled (average kinetic energy should be on the x - axis and temperature on the y - axis) and it should pass through the origin.
