Kinetic energy is the energy created by the motion of an object. In classical mechanics, kinetic energy is calculated using the equation:
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
(where KE = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity)
Potential energy is energy that an object has simply due to its position and configuration. This energy can be caused by where it is in a force field. The most common potential energy is gravitational potential energy. There is also electrical, magnetic, and elastic potential energy. In classical mechanics, gravitational potential energy created by the Earth is calculated using:
PE = mgh
(where PE = potential energy, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height of the object)

∙ 13y agoThe average kinetic energy of a gas molecule is directly proportional to its temperature and are related by the formula.
Kinetic energy = 1.5 (k)(T)
where k = Boltzmann's constant and T = temperature of the gas.
So if the temperature of a gas is known, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules can be found.

What is the word for the definition measure of the average kinetic energy of an object's atoms?
Temperature.
An objects is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles in that object?
The average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance is its temperature.
A measure that is proportional to the average kinetic energy of atoms molecules or ions present?
Thermometer
What is he relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?
Consider the example that you have a iron rod you start hearting one end by burner and after some time you will find that the whole iron rod is uniformly heated. First of all, when you give heat to anything the atoms constituting it will get energy and hence excited atoms oscillate (kinetic energy) and thus this process is transferred from atoms to atoms consecutively (atomes from one of the rod to the atoms at the other end) and thus heat is uniformly distributed on the whole iron rod.
Temperature is a measure of what average properties of atoms?
The average amount of Energy that is found within the material.
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
The temperature of an object is the most common measure of the average kinetic energy of the object.
Measure of the kinetic energy of the atoms of an object?
Temperature
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
conservation
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
Kelvins
What is the total kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules in an object called?
Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules in an object
What is the word for the definition measure of the average kinetic energy of an object's atoms?
Temperature.
Why cant the kinetic energy of all the atoms in an object be measured?
because they are so small and objects contain so many of them, it is impossible to measure the kinetic energy of all the individual atoms
What is the measure of kinetic energy of atoms?
temperature
What is an object's temperature related to?
kinetic energy of its atoms
What determines the speed of the atoms and molecules of a substace?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of an object. This is proportional to how quickly the particles move.
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the atoms in an object?
Internal energy.
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of an objects atoms?
Temperature.
