Work Step by Step

a) The jar moving around causes the speed of the molecules to increase. b) We do not know what will happen to the velocity, for the molecules are moving in random directions, making it impossible to figure out what will happen to velocity. c) Since temperature has to do with the speed of the molecules, an increased speed means temperature has increased as well.
