Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Is the temp of an object a measure of the total kinetic energy of molecules in the object or a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule in the object? Temperature is the measure of Average kinetic energy of an object. The total kinetic energy of molecules in the object is termed as HEAT.
