Question

which option defines kinetic energy? (1 point) the average energy of particles due to motion the energy an object has because of its motion the energy required to change a gas into a liquid the average energy released when a liquid becomes a solid

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. The first option refers to average kinetic energy of particles, the third is energy for phase - change from gas to liquid (latent heat of condensation), and the fourth is energy released during solidification.

Answer:

the energy an object has because of its motion
