Answer:

a) associated with the sensation of hot and cold.

b) proportional to the average kinetic energy of molecules.

c)measured with thermometers.

d)all of the above.

Answer 1

Temperature is defined as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance, so answer b is correct. Temperature is indeed measured with thermometers, so answer c is also correct. We sense the temperature of something relative to our own body temperature; a substance with a temperature higher than that of our body feels warm to us, and a substance with a temperature lower than that of our body feels cold. Answer a is also correct. So the correct answer to this question is d, all of the above.
