A student conducts an investigation to show the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in one phase of matter. What would the graph of this relationship look like?(1 point)

Question

Responses

a horizontal line
a horizontal line

a U-shaped curve
a U-shaped curve

a diagonal line
a diagonal line

an S-shaped curve

Answer 1

The correct response would be a diagonal line.

In general, as the temperature of a substance increases, the kinetic energy of its particles also increases. This linear relationship can be represented in a graph where one axis represents temperature and the other represents kinetic energy, resulting in a diagonal line that slopes upwards.
