You can find the average kinetic energy (KE) of particles by using the formula KE = 1/2 * m * v^2. Just average the velocities if you have multiple particles!
Just remember: Average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature in a gas. Hotter equals more energetic!
Use the formula KE_avg = 3/2 * k * T for particles in a gas, where k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature in Kelvin.
