Problem 1. (Temperature and thermal equilibrium) Temperature is an indicator of: a. Total energy of the molecules in the system b. The average kinetic energy of the molecules in the system c. The average potential energy of the molecules in the system d. The average energy required to break the bonds between the molecules Problem 2. (Temperature and thermal equilibrium) Thermal equilibrium between two objects implies: a. There is no net heat flow between them b. They have the same temperature c. They have the same internal energy d. Both a and b

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in the system

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, the particles of a system are in constant motion and collide steadily with one another as well as with the walls of the container.

The average kinetic energy of these molecules in motion is referred to as the temperature of the body. Hence, temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

in scientific notation, the value of the  speed of light in a vacuum

  will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. when this value is represented in the form of

  a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.

the value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. in this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
