• A. Is proportional to the square root of the absolute temperature of the gas
• B. Is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas
• C. Is proportional to the square of the absolute temperature of the gas
• D. Does not depend upon the absolute temperature of the gas

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas

Answer 2

$E = \frac{3}{2}kT$ Ž $E \propto T$
