Temperature is the property of a body which is proportional to the ____.
total kinetic energy of its molecules
average kinetic energy of its molecules
average speed of its molecules
maximum speed of its molecules
Correct answer is B
The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas. Thus, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases as the gas becomes warmer
