Kinetic Theory of Matter

Which of the following is NOT a part of the Kinetic Theory of Matter?

• All matter is made up of tiny particles.

• Particles are always moving in random paths

• Occasionally, particles stop moving.

• The type of movement of particles depends on the amount of energy.

Which of the following states of matter has the LOWEST level of energy?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

The energy of an object as it is in motion is defined as

• Potential Energy

• Elastic Energy

• Electric Energy

• Kinetic Energy
