Question

Describe the relationship between temperature and energy

Answer 1

Answer:

The Temperature is the measure of Average Kinetic Energy  of the molecule in the substance.

Temperature and Kinetic Energy of molecules are related by the equation

$= \frac{3}{2} kT$

Where

<E> denotes average kinetic energy

k - Boltzmann constant

T - Temperature of the substance

Explanation:

The energy inside the substance is characterised by translational and vibrational motion.

The molecules in a substance have a range of kinetic energies because they don't all move at the same speed. As a substance absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.

As the molecules of a substance vibrate faster their temperature increases.

Thus an increase energy corresponds to an increase in temperature

<E> α T (α denotes proportionality)

$= \frac{3}{2} kT$
