What is thermal energy? Is it the measurement of energy in an object due to position conduction or chemical composition? Or is it the distance between particles and the freedom to move around or is it in material? That is a conductor of heat or is it the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance.
1 answer
Thermal energy refers to the measurement of energy in an object or substance due to the movement of its particles. It is specifically related to the kinetic energy of the particles and their overall temperature. This energy arises from the random motions and vibrations of atoms and molecules within a material. Therefore, it is the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance, which is influenced by factors like position, conduction, chemical composition, distance between particles, and their freedom to move around.
