Increase temperature means increase velocity

Is that correct? I just had an exam and I wanted to know if increase in temperature means increase velocity.

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles composing a substance and kinetic energy is known as energy of motion. The formula for kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 m v^2, where m = mass and v = velocity. So you were correct, increasing the temperature causes the particles of the substance to vibrate, or rotate, or translate (to move) to a greater degree than before the temperature increase.

An increase in the velocity of the particles? Yes.

Heat is defined as the average kinetic energy of all molecules in a sample. Higher heat means higher velocity and vice-versa.

kinetic theory of gases assumes that increasing the temperature of a gas increases the root meansquare velocity of the gas molecules.
