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

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

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and does not have a relationship with temperature.

As the kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature may decrease or increase.

As the kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature increases.

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

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, so lower average kinetic energy means lower temperature (and higher KE means higher temperature).
