What is the connection between kinetic energy, temperature, and freedom of movement?

Step-by-step explanation:

They have a directly proportional relationship.

i.e.

when one of them varies in magnitude, the others will also vary directly.

Quantities expressed as products of each other are always inversely proportional & those expressed as quotients are directly proportional with each other.

KE = 1/2mv^2

Thus, we know that m & v in KE are inversely related.

Inverse proportionality - when m increases, v decreases. & vice versa.

Direct proportionality - when v increases KE also increases

If Temperature increases then the probability of atoms to randomly collide with each other increases rapidly.

the rapidity of these atoms result from the increase in speed(v). since v & KE have a direct r/n ship, KE also increases. as a result the atoms get a relatively high freedom of movement compared to that of those in solids.
