Question

Temperature and kinetic energy have a_______relationship.

Answer 1

The hotter an object is, the more kinetic energy it has, but i'm not sure what is the exact word missing??

Answer 2

Answer : Temperature and kinetic energy have a direct relationship.

Explanation :

The relationship between the kinetic energy of a gas particle and the temperature is,

$\text{Kinetic energy}=\frac{3}{2}\frac{RT}{N_A}$

where,

R = Gas constant

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number

T = temperature

From this we conclude that the kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to the the temperature of a gas molecule. That means there is a direct relationship between the kinetic energy and the temperature.

Hence, the temperature and kinetic energy have a direct relationship.
