Question

people often think of temperature as how hot or cold something is. but what exactly is temperature? temperature is a measure of kinetic energy. every substance is made up of particles. the temperature of a substance is related to the kinetic energies of these particles. if a substance is hot, its particles tend to have a large amount of kinetic energy. the particles in a substance have kinetic energy because they are moving. the particles are constantly in motion, even if the substance does not appear to be moving. this rubber ball contains many small, moving particles. select all of the statements that are true about the rubber ball shown above. the temperature of the ball depends on the kinetic energies of the particles that make up the ball. the particles that make up the ball are moving even when the ball is not. if the ball is cold, its particles tend to have a small amount of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The text states that temperature is related to the kinetic energy of particles in a substance. Particles are constantly in motion. A hot substance has particles with a large amount of kinetic energy and a cold one has particles with less kinetic energy.

Answer:

The temperature of the ball depends on the kinetic energies of the particles that make up the ball.
The particles that make up the ball are moving even when the ball is not.
If the ball is cold, its particles tend to have a small amount of kinetic energy.
