The Kinetic energy of gas molecules

Q: The Kinetic energy of gas molecules

Kinetic Energy K . E = 1 2 m V 2 or K . E ∝ V 2 , Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules. Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.

is unaffected by temperature variations
decreases with increase of temperature
increases with decrease of temperature
increases with increase of temperature

Correct Answer: increases with increase of temperature

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy $K . E = \frac{1}{2} m V 2$ or

$K . E \propto V 2$ , Where 'm' is the mass and 'v' is the velocity of molecules.

Velocity is proportional to temperature. Hence, KE is proportional to temperature and would increase with temperature.
