Question

use the slides (link in the instructions) to complete these questions. look for slides that are highlighted aqua.
which statement does the kinetic theory explain?
heat is due to pascals principle.
heat is due to the motion of molecules.
heat is due to potential energy.
heat is due to temperature.

Explanation:

The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of particles (atoms or molecules) that are in constant motion. Heat is a form of energy related to the motion of these particles. Pascal's principle is about pressure in fluids and not related to heat in the context of kinetic theory. Potential energy is stored energy (e.g., gravitational potential energy) and not the basis of heat in kinetic theory. Temperature is a measure related to the average kinetic energy of particles, but heat (energy transfer) is due to the motion (kinetic energy) of molecules, not the other way around as the option "Heat is due to temperature" suggests.

Answer:

Heat is due to the motion of molecules.
