The speed of molecules is indirectly related to a measurement called _____.

heat flow

temperature

friction

energy

Verified Answer :

The speed of molecules is indirectly related to a measurement called temperature.

Answer:

The correct choice is

temperature

Explanation:

According to kinetic molecular theory, the average molecular kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature. we know that kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the molecule. hence the square of the speed is directly proportional to the temperature.
