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

an S-shaped curve
an S-shaped curve

a diagonal line
a diagonal line

a U-shaped curve
a U-shaped curve

a horizontal line

Answer 1

The relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in a phase of matter (like gases) is typically represented by a diagonal line. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases linearly. Therefore, the correct response is:

a diagonal line
