when a sample of gas experiences an increase in temperature, which of the following statement CORRECTLY describes what happens to it? A. The kinetic energy of the gas particles decreases. B. The volume of the gas decreases, as long as the pressure remains constant. C. The gas particles move with decreased speed. D. The pressure of the gas decreases, if the volume remains constant. E. The number of gas particles remains unchanged.

What is the relationship between the kinetic energy of molecules in an object and the object's temperature? a. As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. b. The kinetic energy always increases whether the temperature increases or decreases. c. As the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases, the temperature increases. d. The total kinetic energy of the molecules is not affected by a change in temperature.
