Question

The above picture illustrates molecules in motion inside a closed cylinder. Which statement BEST describes what would happen if you were to increase the temperature inside the container. A) The kinetic energy would increase. B) The kinetic would remain constant. C) The potential energy would increase. D) The kinetic and potential energy would remain unchanged.

Answer 1

I honestly cannot see the picture

Answer 2

Answer:

The kinetic energy would increase

Explanation:

As you increase the temperature, the kinetic energy would increase. The molecules would move faster due to the higher temperature, and thus the kinetic energy would also increase as kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
