Which of the following containers of sand has atoms/molecules with the greatest average kinetic energy?  

• 1 kg at 20^oC
• 2 kg at 20^oC
• 4 kg at 20^oC
• none has a greater amount because all have the same average kinetic energy

What would be the effect on the particles if more heat is supplied to the system?

• They would slow down
• They would stop moving
• They would speed up
• There would be no effect
