Question 1 0.5 pt Kinetic Molecular Theory assumes gas particles move and collide with the walls of a container with speed and force. The force of this collision spread across an area is pressure. (Pressure = force / Area) The speed at which a gas particle moves is referred to as the kinetic energy. What happens to the speed of a particle (ie the average kinetic energy of the gas particles) when the temperature of a system increases? The particles move faster and the average KE increases The particles move more slowly and the average KE increased The particle speed and KE are not affected. The particles move faster and the average KE decreases.
