Physics Question on kinetic theory

The average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas is

A

proportional to absolute temperature

B

proportional to volume

C

dependent on the nature of the gas

D

proportional to pressure

Answer

proportional to absolute temperature

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is: (A) proportional to absolute temperature
Basic Theory
Translational K.E on average of a molecule is 32KT\frac{3}{2}KT which is independent of nature, pressure and volume
