The translational kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas at absolute temperature (T) can be doubled by (a) increasing T to 4 T (b) increasing T to √(2) T (c) decreasing T to T/2 (d) increasing T to 2T

Answer: (d). Translational KE = 3/2kBT, so KE ∝ T. To double the KE, double T. So the answer is (d) increasing T to 2T.
