6. "The temperature of an object is a measure of its kinetic energy." The statement is false and should read: "The temperature of an object is a measure of the average kinetic energy." 7. At the beginning of this section, you saw pictures of buildings made up of Lego blocks. These were used as models of the particle theory of matter. Another way to model this could be: Marshmallows and toothpicks. 8. Rubbing your together makes them feel warmer because the particles in your hands start to vibrate more producing more kinetic energy causing the temperature to rise. 9. One golf ball has been in the sun and another one has been in the shade. The particles of the golf ball in the sun will have a larger kinetic energy because the temperature goes up with more kinetic energy.
