Heat and Temperature

Which of the following is termed as the average kinetic energy contained within a substance.

A platinum resistance thermometer reads $0^0\mathrm{C}$ at the ice point and boiling point of water respectively. The resistance of a platinum wire varies with Celsius temperature as $R_t = R_o (1+\mathrm{\alpha \theta }+{\mathrm{\beta \theta }}^2)$ where $\mathrm{\alpha } = 3.8 \times {10}^{-3} {\mathrm{per}}^{ 0}\mathrm{C}$ and  $\mathrm{\beta }=-5.6\times {10}^{-7} {\mathrm{per}}^{ 0}{\mathrm{C}}^2$. What will be the reading of this thermometer if it is placed in a liquid bath maintained at ${50}^0\mathrm{C}$?
