Gas Laws and Kinetic Theory
2. Translational Speed and Kinetic Energy
Learning outcomes
- I can explain that gas particles are in constant random motion.
- I can describe translational motion as the movement of particles from one location to another.
- I can relate particle speed to temperature.
- I can explain the relationship between average translational kinetic energy and absolute temperature.
- I can predict how changes in temperature affect the motion and energy of gas particles.
