If all were at the same temperature how would the average kinetic energy of the particles compare an iron cube an aluminum cube and a balloon filled with helium gas?

If the two metals are at the same temperature then the atoms in each would have the same average kinetic energy.
Temperature is a measure of the "average energy per degree of freedom". To simplify things somewhat, kinetic energy is one of these degrees of freedom and so if they have the same temperature they have the same kinetic energy.

If the temperature of a balloon was to decrease what else would change?
The particles in the balloon slow down as the temperature decreases cause it to deflate
What happens if you put too many air particles into a balloon?
I am assuming that a rubber balloon is meant here not a hot air balloon! Squeezing a balloon will give rise to a decrease in volume and a subsequent increase in internal pressure which may not be too large as the balloon expands in another part to compensate. Using the kinetic theory of gases (which shouldn't strictly be applied to this case but provides insights) the average energy of the particles inside depends on the temperature- the particles don't go any faster they just hit the inside of the balloon more often because of the decrease in volume.
Does the temperature affect the maximum size you can inflate a balloon?
yes, because the cooler it gets the slower the particles go in a balloon, so it gets smaller.
Where are the particles of helium farthest apart in a tank or in a balloon?
The particles of helium are farthest apart in a balloon.
Does temperature affect the maximum size that you can inflate a balloon?
When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.

What happens to the speed of the particles inside an air-filled balloon if the temperature of the balloon increases?
They move faster.Particles on the outside of the balloon are slower.The particles will move faster due to an increase in their kinetic energy.
Why an inflated balloon expand in warmwater?
Actually, it should decrease in size. The volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas (measured in Kelvin). Therefore if you inflate a balloon with your warm breath and then cool it down with cold water, the balloon will shrink, not increase in size.See the Related Questions for more information about the effect of temperature on gases.
The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?
The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.
What are the effects of a warm temperature on gas particles?
when the temperature is warm, the particles move faster and the gas is expanding and pushing on the walls of the item, like for example, a NYPD float balloon. If the gas expands too much, the balloon will explode
Why does a rubber balloon coated with aluminum takes longer to shrink than a rubber balloon without an aluminum coating?
Rubber is a compound with large molecules loosely bound by hydrogen bonding and is holey as it is stretched. Coating a balloon with aluminum which has atoms regularly spaced, forms a cohesive layer with less space between particles and less holes.

Liquid nitrogen is about -70 degrees C when nitrogen is poured over a balloon it shrinks dramatically This balloon rapidly expands to its normal size when set out at room temperature explain this?
The liquid is so cold that the air particles in the balloon almost stop moving, which causes the balloon to shrink. When the balloon is taken out of thr liquid the particles regain speed and expand inside of the balloon.
What would happen to pressure if you removed some of the gas particles from the balloon?
If temperature and volume is fixed,pressure reduces.
