Temperature

Mr. Andersen explains temperature as the average kinetic energy of molecules, using experiments with water and food coloring to demonstrate molecular motion. He discusses the Kelvin scale, absolute zero, and the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, highlighting how temperature affects molecular speed and energy distribution.

What is temperature defined as in terms of molecular motion?

Explain the relationship between temperature and the average kinetic energy of molecules.

What happens to molecular motion at absolute zero?

Describe the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and its significance in understanding temperature.

How can the concept of absolute zero be demonstrated using a balloon and its volume at different temperatures?
