Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance
A
temperature
B
heat
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The temperature of a substance is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the substance particles. Because the mass of these particles is constant, the particles must move faster as the temperature rises.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles in the substance.

Detailed explanation-3: -As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles.
