What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy?

Answer:

As stated in the kinetic-molecular theory, the temperature of a substance is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles of that substance. When a substance is heated, some of the absorbed energy is stored within the particles, while some of the energy increases the motion of the particles.

I hope it's helpful!

Answer:

Temperature is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the atoms that a body is made of. This relation is valid concerning the velocities relative to the center of mass of the body. In other words, concerted movements like translation and rotation do not affect temperature.
