Heat, Temperature and Specific Heat

The measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called its

• heat

• kinetic energy

• specific heat

• temperature

The temperature at which all molecular motion stops is called

• absolute zero

• freezing point

• melting point

• heat

The measure of the total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called its

• heat

• kinetic energy

• specific heat

• temperature
