What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature?(1 point)
Responses
As the kinetic energy of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature increases.
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.
As the kinetic temperature of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature decreases, and vice versa.

As the kinetic energy in a substance’s atoms increases, its thermal energy increases, and vice versa.
(Question) What happens when a bowl of ice cream is left uneaten on a counter in a warm room?
Thermal energy is transferred from the air to the ice cream, warming the ice cream.
(Question) What is the relationship between kinetic energy and temperature?
As the kinetic temperature of a substance’s atoms decreases, its temperature decreases, and vice versa.
(Question) What is the best description of heat?
the flow of thermal energy from a warmer substance to a cooler substance
(Question) When thermal energy is applied to water, the water’s temperature rises until 100° C and then stays the same. Which is the best explanation?
When the water reaches 100° C, any increase in thermal energy goes to breaking the bonds between water molecules as the water boils and becomes steam.
