Question

Which of the following is correct?

• A. $\text{Average Kinetic Energy}\propto \text{Absolute Temperature}$
• B. $\text{Average Kinetic Energy = Absolute Temperature}$
• C. $\text{Average Kinetic Energy}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Absolute Temperature}}$
• D. $\text{Average Kinetic Energy =}\frac{1}{\text{Absolute Temperature}}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\text{Average Kinetic Energy}\propto \text{Absolute Temperature}$

Average kinetic energy $\propto$ Absolute Temperature, as the temperature increases the average kinetic energy increases.
