How does increasing the temperature of a gas affect the average kinetic energy of its particles (Increasing the pressure of a gas (physics only) (HT only))

The correct answer is It increases the average kinetic energy..

Cause lens: Name the cause, then state the effect on particles, pressure, density, or energy. This question asks: How does increasing the temperature of a gas affect the average kinetic energy of its particles (Increasing the pressure of a gas (physics only) (HT only)). The correct response is It increases the average kinetic energy., because gas pressure comes from particle collisions with container walls. In Increasing the pressure of a gas (physics only) (HT only), the marking point should connect directly to (Physics only) (HT only) Explain why a gas may get hotter when it is compressed quickly. If the question includes values, the working must keep the appropriate unit and operation; if it is an explanation, it must name the relevant particle behaviour or energy change. This item belongs to Particle model and pressure, so avoid answers that switch to a different quantity, confuse heat with temperature, or describe gas pressure without collisions when collisions are the reason. Checkpoint 604 is distinct because it uses this exact question context and the cause lens rather than a generic particle-model sentence.
