Which statement about tempture is correct a temperature is the same thing as energy b temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy in a substance c temperature is the same thing as heat

B temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy in a substance

Explanation:

The concept of temperature can be easily understood by looking at what happens when two objects are placed in contact with each other. By common experience, we know that the hotter object transfers heat energy to the colder object, until the two objects are in thermal equilibrium (= they have same temperature).

Thinking about the example above, we can say therefore that the temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy possessed by an object (or substance).

For a monoatomic gas, for instance, we define its internal energy as

where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. From the formula, we see that the temperature is related to the internal energy of the gas, so measuring the temperature means indirectly measuring its internal energy.
