Question

What happens to the kinetic energy of the particles of matter when temperature is increased?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature

Explanation:

Kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature, steam has maximum kinetic energy and ice has lowest.

Answer 2

The kinetic energy of the particles of matter increases when temperature is increased.

• As we know, according to the kinetic theory of gases, When the temperature of particles of matter increases, they start vibrating.
• When the particles of matter start vibrating their potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy due to the repeated motion of the particles.
• Therefore, the kinetic energy of the particles increases when the temperature increases.
