Question
question:
the temperature of a body depends on the ____.
answer options:
select one of four
number of molecules in the body \t bodys ability to store electrical energy
average velocity of the bodys molecules \t mass of the body
Temperature is related to the kinetic energy of molecules, which depends on their average velocity (or speed, in the context of kinetic theory). The number of molecules relates to heat (total energy) not temperature, electrical energy storage is unrelated, and mass doesn't directly determine temperature. So the average velocity of the body's molecules is the correct factor.
