Question

Temperature is a measure of the average ____________ energy of an object's particles. light mechanical potential kinetic

Answer 1

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Kinetic

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is due to the speed or movement of the particles. When an object is heated, the particles in it absorb the heat energy and as a result, the speed of the particles increases.

Average kinetic energy of the particles or of a system is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.When the temperature is lowered, the speed decreases and as a result kinetic energy also decreases.

When the temperature increases, the speed of the particles increases and  hence kinetic energy also increases.
