Temperature is the property of a body which is proportional to the ____.
total kinetic energy of its molecules
average kinetic energy of its molecules
average speed of its molecules
maximum speed of its molecules
설명
The last postulate of the kinetic molecular theory states that the average kinetic energy of a gas particle depends only on the temperature of the gas. Thus, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases as the gas becomes warmer.
