Answer:

Option D. temperature

Explanation:

Indeed it is generally established that temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy ot the particles.

The kinetic energy of a particle is proportional to the product of the mass and the square of the speed. Mathematically, the kinetic energy, KE, is:

KE = (1/2) m × v²

Where m is the mass and v the speed of the particle.

In a sample of matter, not all the particles have the same speed, hence not all the particles have the same kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy and the temperature are related by the Boltzman equation:

KE = (3/2)KT

Where K is a constant (Boltzman constant) and T is the absolute temperature.

Therefore, as you can see from the last equation, the temperaure is a measure of the averate kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.

This is, at a certain temperature, every substance has the same average kinetic energy.

Answer:

it's the uneven heating of the region's of the troposphere by the sun the sun warms the air at the equator more than the air at the poles. it causes convention currents large scale patterns of winds that move heat and moisture around the globe. as air rises expands and cools water vapor condenses and clouds develop.

Answer:

Contact with corrosive substances requires flushing with water and removing contaminated clothes and jewelry. With a fire, people should first evacuate the lab. Once safe, they should close doors, pull the fire alarm, and call emergency services. Anyone who is on fire should stop, drop, and roll.
