Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Out of the given graph which one is shows the relationship between the average kinetic energy of the particles and temperature of a sample is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a system. The kinetic energy is that energy which possess by the particle when it is in motion.
Answer to Problem 8STP
Correct answer: A is correct
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
The temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a system. The kinetic energy is that energy which possess by the particle when it is in motion. When a particle absorbs heat then the particles moves faster, then the kinetic energy is increase. As temperature is increases, the kinetic energy is increases.
Reasons for incorrect options:
B. In this graph, initially the kinetic energy is constant with increase in temperature which is wrong.
C In this graph, kinetic energy is constant with increase in temperature.
D. In this graph, the kinetic energy is decrease with increase in temperature which is wrong.
