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.
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.
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.
Explanation: Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance, largely from the microscopic kinetic energy of its particles (and partly from potential energy between them). Increasing thermal energy means particles move faster on average, so their kinetic energy rises.
