Thermal energy is the amount of energy contained in a system solely by the effect of its temperature. However, this concept should not be confused with that of internal energy. Internal energy, in turn, is defined as the sum of kinetic energy (translational, rotational and vibrational) with the different forms of potential energy (attractive or repulsive) that can exist between the molecules of a body.
Kinetic energy is associated with the movement of molecules, while potential energy is energy that can be stored in a physical system. In the case of balloons filled with air or liquids, the larger the balloon, the greater the kinetic potential and consequently the thermal energy. For example, a large balloon filled with air will have more thermal energy, because it will have more air molecules that will move through the kinetic energy causing thermal energy.
The average kinetic energy of these individual particles causes an effect we can sense—warmth. ... The air in the air-filled balloon absorbed thermal energy from the flame and started moving faster. The increased movement of the molecules of air expanded the balloon and plastic of the balloon quickly melted. So the big one
A box with a mass of 50 kg is raised straight up. What is the force of the box? plss help!! two types exist-positive and negative. possible answers: A- electric current B- repel C- lines of force D- charges. Five wavelengths are generated every 0.100 s in a tank of water.
