Question

There are 300 light particles in an airtight container. Which adjustment would increase the speed of the particles?(1 point)
Responses

keeping the temperature constant and increasing the container volume
keeping the temperature constant and increasing the container volume

keeping the volume constant and cooling the container
keeping the volume constant and cooling the container

keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature
keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature

keeping the volume constant and replacing the light particles with heavy particles

Answer 1

The correct adjustment that would increase the speed of the particles is:

**keeping the pressure constant and increasing the temperature.**

Increasing the temperature generally increases the kinetic energy of the particles, leading to an increase in their speed. The other options do not result in an increase in speed.
