A student measures the temperature of water and estimates the average particle motion (how fast particles move) using a simulation. The data are shown below. Based on the pattern, what happens to average particle motion as temperature increases? Temperature (degrees Celsius): 0, 20, 37, 60, 100 Average particle motion (relative units): 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
