What is the connection between temperature and kinetic energy

The relationship between temperature and kinetic energy is directly proportional.

Explanation:

The temperature is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the gas molecules. We know that kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion and when gas molecules absorbs heat, they move with more speed and the kinetic energy of particles increases as a result.

According to the kinetic theory of gases

K = 3/2RT/Na

Where K is the average kinetic energy of gas molecules, T is the temperature of the gas, Na is Avogadro's number and R is the universal gas constant.
