• the measure of the energy a solid possesses due to its motion
the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object due to motion
1 answer
The option that best describes temperature is:
• the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object due to motion.
This statement encompasses temperature as it relates to the overall kinetic energy of particles in a substance, which correlates to how hot or cold that substance is.
