Solution

The correct option is B False

Kinetic energy:

  1. Any matter that is moving has energy just because it's moving. The energy of moving matter is called kinetic energy.
  2. The temperature of a substance is directly related to its kinetic energy.
  3. When we increase the temperature of a substance, the molecules of the substance gain some energy and starts to vibrate more faster with an increased velocity.
  4. As the temperature is reduced the kinetic energy of particles decreases because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.
  5. E=32KTWhereEisenergyKisboltzmanconstant,Tistemperature
  6. If the temperature of the system increases kinetic energy also increases.

Hence, the given statement is false.
