Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a set of molecules. Think about that: From physics, you know that the kinetic energy of an object is proportionate to its mass, and the square of its velocity. By adding heat to a system, you are adding energy. That energy is manifested as temperature.

What happens to particles when their temp is increased according to kinetic theory?
The water molecules increase their speed
How fast are molecules in the air moving?
Temperature has a big effect on how fast air molecules travel. Air molecules move faster in hot weather and they move slower in cold weather.
Why doesnt earth's atmosphere leaks out?
Gravity holds it in place. It is possible that now and then individual molecules acquire enough speed to escape, but the effect is negligible.Gravity holds it in place.

What effect does the obsence of heat have on air molecules?
When heat touches air molecules they speed up but when cold air touches molecules they slow down.
Which factor most likey has the greatest effect on the number molecules mitochondria can produce?
The speed of the H+ ions.
What factor most likely has the greatest effect on the number of molecules mitochondria can produce?
The Speed of the H+ ions
Which occurs when air is compressed A. Air Temp rises and air molecules move faster B. Air temp decreases C. Air temp decreases and air molecules move faster D. Air molecules move slower?
A. air temperature rises and air molecules move faster
When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?
Slow down and the temperature drops.
How does the speed of molecules of gas change when heated?
The speed of the molecules speeds up when the gas is heated.
What is the effect of medium on the speed of sound?
Sound travels faster through denser media because their molecules are closer together.
