Which quantity refers most directly to the average molecular kinetic energy present in a substance?
thermal energy
temperature
specificheat
heat of fusion

(B) Temperature

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms or molecules in the system. The water molecules in a cup of hot coffee have a higher average kinetic energy than the water molecules in a cup of iced tea, which also means they are moving at a higher velocity.The specific heat capacity is how much energy is needed to increase the temperature of one gram of a substance by 1°C or 1K.

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
