What is temperature? a. a direct measure of external kinetic energy b. the same thing as heat energy c. an indirect measure of heat energy d. the amount of calories in a substance e. a direct measure of internal kinetic energy

Hello!

E.

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. When the water is warmed, the particles of water move faster. The increases in movement of each particle increases the kinetic energy of each particle. The increase in the kinetic energy of each particle increases the average kinetic energy of the particles, which is observed as an increase in the temperature.

Hope this helps!
