First of all the kinetic energy is when the particles move in continuous random motion.

If the temperature is high the colliding particles will collide more. and if the temperature is low the colliding particles will collide less.

Low temperature result in low kinetic energy
High temperature result in high kinetic energy

Absolute zero is the point where where all molecules have no kinetic energy. It is a theoretical value (it has never been reached).

The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero being the lowest possible temperature that could theoretically be reached. That is why there is no such thing as a negative Kelvin temperature value.

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5N .

How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still?

answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero 
--------------------------------------... 
How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? 

answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. 

If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: 
4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 
work = total force1 x 11 meters

How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? 

answer: same as above only reversed: 
4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 
work = total force2 x 11 meters
