What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature?(1 point)

Responses

As the kinetic temperature of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature decreases, and vice versa.

is incorrect. The correct relationship between kinetic energy and temperature is that as the kinetic energy of a substance's atoms increases, its temperature also increases, and vice versa. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so an increase in kinetic energy corresponds to an increase in temperature. Therefore, the correct answer would be the first option: "As the kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms increases, its temperature also increases, and vice versa."
