Concept introduction:
Kinetic energy is a type of energy that a moving object or particle possesses. Among, liquids, solids, and gases, gases possess the highest kinetic energy.
Answer to Problem 9STP
The statement and reason both are correct, and the reason explains the given statement.
Explanation of Solution
When heat is added to a system, its temperature increases. This is because the added heat increases the average kinetic energy of the gaseous particles which in turn move faster and collide frequently with each other and with the wall. This increase in a collision increases the temperature of the system.
Thus, both the statement and the reason are correct and the reason explains the statement.
