Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance?
  • Step 1: Understand what kinetic energy is. Kinetic energy is the energy that particles have due to their motion.
  • Step 2: Recognize that all substances are made up of tiny particles that are always moving.
  • Step 3: Know that temperature is a way to describe how fast these particles are moving on average.
  • Step 4: Realize that when we say temperature is high, it means the particles are moving faster, which means they have more kinetic energy.
  • Step 5: Conclude that temperature is indeed a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
