Question 1

What is kinetic energy associated with?

Answer 1

Motion

Question 2

If there is higher speed is there more or less kinetic energy?

Answer 2

The kinetic energy is greater

Question 3

Do atoms and molecules have kinetic energy?

Answer 3

Yes they do. The particles inside them are not stationary.

Question 4

How does temperature affect kinetic energy?

Answer 4

The lower the temperature the less movement there is, so there is less kinetic energy.
At very low temperatures the particles in the substance would hardly move at all

Question 5

What scale is the absolute temperature zero measured in?

Answer 5

Kelvin scale
