Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Total Kinetic Energy (TKE):** Total Kinetic Energy is the sum of all forms of kinetic energy present in a system. It includes: - **Translational Kinetic Energy (TKE):** Energy due to the movement of the center of mass of the molecules. - **Rotational Kinetic Energy (RKE):** Energy due to the rotation of molecules around their axes. - **Vibrational Kinetic Energy (VKE):** Energy due to the vibrations of the atoms within the molecules. ...
