Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understanding Kinetic Energy and Temperature
According to the kinetic theory, particles of matter are always in motion.
The kinetic energy of particles is directly related to the temperature of the substance.
Step 2: Relationship Between Temperature and Kinetic Energy
When the temperature of a substance increases, the kinetic energy of its particles also increases.
This means that particles move faster as the temperature rises.
Step 3: Effect of Increased Temperature on Particles
As temperature increases, particles in a gas will move even faster, increasing their kinetic energy.
In a solid, increased temperature will cause particles to vibrate more vigorously.
Final Answer
When temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of particles increases.
