14. How does the kinetic energy of a gas molecule compare to that of a solid molecule at the same temperature?
Gas molecules have more kinetic energy
Solid molecules have more kinetic energy
Both have the same kinetic energy
It depends on the type of gas and solid
15. What is the relationship between temperature and the kinetic energy of molecules?
As temperature increases, kinetic energy decreases
As temperature decreases, kinetic energy increases
As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases
Temperature does not affect kinetic energy
