Question

Jenny measures the temperature inside a cave to be 10°C. The temperature outside the cave is about 30°C warmer.

How does the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the cave compare to the kinetic energy of the air molecules outside the cave?



The kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the cave is
the kinetic energy of the air molecules outside the cave.

Answer 1

Answer:

the inside is colder so molecules move Slower

the outside is warmer so molecules move quicker

Answer 2

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the cave is less than the kinetic energy of the air molecules outside the cave.
