Chapter 5, Problem 1STP

To determine

To Choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 1STP

The kinetic energy is directly related to temperature.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The raise in temperature directly affects the kinetic energy of the particles of a body. Then this energy converts later in other form also.

The change in temperature will affect the kinetic energy of the particles of an object. The kinetic energy creates motion in the particles which happens directly with the temperature. The other factors like mechanical energy, potential energy etc. are indirectly affected by change in temperature. The kinetic energy transforms into other form of energy. The kinetic energy comes through the agitation of particles when temperature is applied. Therefore, the primary subject is the kinetic energy which influenced first on applying temperature.

Conclusion:

Hence, the kinetic energy is directly related to temperature.
