The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.

How does a substance 's temperature change when the average kinetic energy of it's particle increases?

As the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance increases, the temperature of the substance also increases. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. So, when the average kinetic energy increases, the temperature increases as well.


How is kinetic energy affected by a change in velocity?

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity of an object. This means that as the velocity of an object increases, its kinetic energy increases exponentially. Conversely, if the velocity decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease accordingly.


How is the temperature of a substance related to attraction between molecules and its states?

Gases have the most kinetic energy and the least attraction exists between its molecules. Liquids have the middle amount of kinetic energy and middle attraction. Solids have the least kinetic energy and most attraction exists between its particles. The answer above isn't totally accurate, although it is mostly right. However, the attraction between molecules DOES NOT CHANGE WITH TEMPERATURE. What changes is how much energy the atoms/molecules have to overcome that attraction. The higher the temperature, the more energy the molecules have, and therefore the less the attractive force between will actually pull them together. As an example, consider a space rocket. The force of gravity on the rocket is constant. However, when the rocket is launched, the rocket's engines overcome the attractive force of gravity (by accelerating in the opposite direction) and therefore the rocket takes off. The attractive force doesn't change -- but the rocket's engines are more powerful than that attraction. In the same way, the increased temperature doesn't change the attraction, but it allows the molecules to overcome it. Other example. Image you are rolling down a hill on a bicycle. In the middle of the downhill, there is a rise. Because you have speed from going downhill, this slight uphill section doesn't stop you. However, the slight uphill is still there! It just doesn't stop you because you are already going fast. But it still affects you.


What substances make up temperature?

None. Temperature is a term/concept that affects any substance and any atom. Temperature describes the kinetic energy (dependend on their speed) that the atoms your substance is made of have. Dependend on your substance you need different amount of heat energy to change the temperature. This property is called heat capacity.


Why does the kinetic energy of water molecules remain the same when it reaches the boiling point?

average kinetic energy of molecules is roughly equivilant to temperature. as water reaches boiling point the temperature stops increasing. Instead the energy your putting in makes a phase change from liquid to gas.

Does the temperature change if the average kinetic energy of a substance changes?

When Ave KE increases temperature increases.


How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases When it decreases?

When the average kinetic energy of a substance's particles increases, the substance's temperature also increases because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles. Conversely, when the average kinetic energy of a substance's particles decreases, the substance's temperature decreases because there is less molecular movement and lower energy levels overall.


As the temperature of a gas decrease what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?

The amount of kinetic energy increases.


What particle property changes with change in temperature?

Temperature affects the average kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, particles have higher kinetic energy, which can impact their speed, collisions, and interactions with other particles.


How is the temperature of a substance affected by a change in the average kinetic energy of its molecules?

Directly proportional-- If average KE increases, temperature increases, and vice versa.

When the temperature of a substance decreases increases what happens?

The temperature of a substance increases as the mean random kinetic energy of its particles increases. This is because temperature of an object is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of its particles. Thus when the particles move faster as a whole, such as when the object is put near a flame, the object heats up.


What is the relationship between temperature and the type of energy possessed by a system, whether it is thermal, kinetic, or potential?

The relationship between temperature and the type of energy possessed by a system is that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system. As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases. This increase in kinetic energy can lead to a change in the type of energy possessed by the system, such as thermal energy (heat) or potential energy.
