Question

Thermal energy depends on an object’s

Answer 1

Answer : Thermal energy depends on the mass, the phase and the temperature of the object.    

Explanation :

Thermal energy is defined as the energy that is produced due to heat flow.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

$Q=mc\Delta T$

Where

Q is the thermal energy or the heat absorbed/released

c is the specific heat capacity. It varies for solid, liquid and gases.

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

It is clear that the thermal energy depends on the object's mass, temperature and also on the phase.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
