This will depend on what kind of temperature scale you intend to use.
Degrees Celsius, Degrees Fahrenheit or Kelvin.
Celsius:
If we have a positive number, say 10 degrees Celsius, then we would get 20 degrees Celsius.
If we have a negative number, say -10 degrees Celsius, then we get -20 degrees Celsius. It will simply be twice as cold.
Fahrenheit:
Exactly the same rules apply as for Celsius in the examples of Celsius.
Kelvin:
Kelvin is an absolute that is "only" dealing with positive numbers.
double of 10 Kelvin is 20 Kelvin. Double again and we get 40 Kelvin. Easy as pie.
Temperature indicate how much energy there is in an object or a mix of objects.
When doubling the temperature in Celsius, we add to this energy.
When doubling the temperature in Fahrenheit, we add to this energy, but not as much as we would in Celsius.
When doubling the temperature in Kelvin, then we actually double the energy-content. Much more than when using either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Increased temperature mean increased speed of reactions.

Which would have greater effect on kinetic energy of an object doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?
the velocity is decreased
Doubling the amplitude of a wave causes its energy to .?
quadruple
A change in a objects speed has a what effect on its kinetic energy than a change in mass?
Doubling the speed. This is because the (non-relativistic) kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
Why isn't temperature measured in Joules?
The temperature of an object does not depend on its energy, it is a property of the state of the object on a scale such as Centigrade (Celsius), where end points are defined in terms of the properties of water (freezing and boiling). The energy content of the object which is measured in calories or Joules (they are convertible) depends on its mass and the specific heat capacity of what it is made of, as well as the temperature it is at, so even if you could easily measure its energy content this would not tell you the temperature without knowing these other factors as well.
Is it true that doubling an objects velocity will double its kinetic energy.?
No, that's not true.
Does nutrition labels list the energy content in food in degrees?
No, it list the energy content in calories, which is the amount of energy to raise a quantity of water by a certain temperature.
Is doubling a kinetic energy source by mass bigger than when you double its speed?
Doubling the mass will double the kinetic energy. Doubling the speed will increase kinetic energy by a factor 22 = 4.
How does temperature relate to amount of energy present in a substance?
Higher temperature means greater energy content compared to a lower temperature. The energy required to change the temperature is proportional to the mass of the system, the specific heat capacity, and the temperature change.
What During a phase change the temperature of a substance .?
The temperature* remains unchanged. * The heat (energy) content changes.
Does the energy content of a substance change during a phase change?
Yes, but not the temperature.
What happens to the temperature during a phase change?
The temperature* remains unchanged. * The heat (energy) content changes.
What happen to the temperature of a substance during a phase change?
The temperature* remains unchanged. * The heat (energy) content changes.
Which would have greater effect on kinetic energy of an object doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?
the velocity is decreased
What units does a thermometer measure?
A thermometer measures thermal energy (heat energy) by measuring temperature in celsius, kelvin, or Fahrenheit degrees. Note that temperature can be used as an indicator of thermal energy, but it is not a direct measure of it. A masonry brick at a given temperature has more thermal energy than a block of pine (wood) the same size at the same temperature.
Does doubling celsius temperature double pressure?
Using the Celsius temperature scale, it is not correct. But doubling the temperature using the Kelvin temperature scale, where zero is the absolute minimum gegree possible, will double pressure . p1/T1=p2/T2=constant.
Doubling the amplitude of a wave causes its energy to .?

Doubling the speed. This is because the (non-relativistic) kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.
