Temperature and kinetic energy are ___________ proportional. A adirectly B directly C indirectly

Respuesta :

B. Directly

Explanation: The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute temperature only; this implies that all molecular motion ceases if the temperature is reduced to absolute zero.

Temperature and kinetic energy are directly proportional.

B. directly

Relation between Kinetic energy and Temperature:

  1. As heat is introduced into a system, the molecules absorb the thermal energy and increase their kinetic energy.
  2. The measurement of temperature is the resultant impact of the exchange of kinetic energy between the system and the molecules or atoms within measuring instrument.
  3. In any given gaseous sample of moving atoms there are many collisions per unit time but these collisions do not alter the total energy of the system (it is conserved).
  4. The collisions alters the relative kinetic energies of the two (or more) colliding atoms: if one slows down, the other will speed up.

Thus, from the above observations we can conclude that option B is the right choice.
