What is the relationship between a substance’s thermal energy and its kinetic energy?(1 point)
There is no relationship between a substance’s thermal energy and kinetic energy.
As the substance’s thermal energy increases, the kinetic energy of its particles decreases, and vice versa.
As the substance’s thermal energy increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, and vice versa.
A substance’s thermal energy is the same as its kinetic energy.

As the substance’s thermal energy increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, and vice versa.
Explanation: Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance and includes the microscopic kinetic energy of its particles (their motion) and often potential energy from particle interactions. Increasing thermal energy generally raises particle speeds, so their kinetic energy increases.
