I just figured this out, so here it is:

Average kinetic molecular energy is based on temp(in kelvin).

Ek= (3/2)RT ; where R is a constant(.0821), and T is temp in kelvin.

Total molecular kinetic energy is:

uRMS=[(3RT)/M]^(1/2) R equals 8.314 J/mol; T=kelvin; M=kg/mol

The average molecular kinetic energy is proportional to the absolute temperature. The average total kinetic energy is divided by the number of particles in the box.
