Temperature and Thermal Energy

Question 4 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Joshua is preparing a report to show the relationship between average kinetic energy and temperature. Is his graph accurate? Explain your answer.

Answer

Answer:

No, Joshua's graph is not accurate. The relationship between temperature and average kinetic energy is directly proportional, meaning as temperature increases, the average kinetic energy also increases. An accurate graph should show a straight diagonal line starting from the origin (0,0) if temperature is measured in Kelvin, rather than a curve or a horizontal line.
