If you were to plot the number of molecules vs the speed of those molecules, you get something called a Boltzmann distribution.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what this line graph right here set up to do. It&#8217;s set up to represent a Boltzmann distribution. <b>The number of molecules vs the speed.<\/b> The number of molecules is on the y axis here and the speed is on the x axis. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules.<\/p>\n<p>If you were to heat up a gas, then more molecules would start moving faster. This would increase the kinetic energy. Since the kinetic energy would be going up, the temperature would increase as well. If you were to cool off the gas, the molecules would start moving slower.<\/p>\n<p>More molecules would start moving slower, which would then decrease the kinetic energy. When kinetic energy goes down, temperature also goes down, because temperature and kinetic energy are directly related. When kinetic energy goes up temperature goes up, and when kinetic energy goes down temperature also goes down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Relationship Between Temperature and Kinetic Energy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-13699","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"page_type-video","6":"page_domain-science"},"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This video tutorial helps explain the basics of the Relationship Between Temperature and Kinetic Energy.
