What is the measure of average kinetic energies of the particles within an object?
A
temperature
B
heat
C
thermal energy
D
potential energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. It is the kinetic energy of a typical particle.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object is called the temperature. In fact, constituent particles of a substance are constantly colliding and sharing energy such that the instantaneous energies of the particles are different.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

Detailed explanation-4: -The average kinetic energy of a molecule is directly proportional to its absolute temperature: K – = 1 2 m v 2 – = 3 2 k B T .

Detailed explanation-5: -The measure of average kinetic energy of molecules is called temperature.
