Question

5 identify the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy. a temperature affects the potential energy, not kinetic energy b temperature is unrelated to kinetic energy of particles c temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles d kinetic energy only affects temperature in solids

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases. Option A is incorrect because temperature is related to kinetic energy, not potential energy. Option B is wrong as there is a clear relationship between temperature and kinetic energy. Option D is false because kinetic energy affects temperature in all states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases), not just solids.

Answer:

C. Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles
