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

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.

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.

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

Explanation: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance’s particles (for gases and approximately for solids/liquids), so when average kinetic energy goes down, temperature goes down.
