Answer:
If it has to do with heat, it's thermal. ... The Greek word therme, meaning “heat,” is the origin of the adjective thermal. Something that is thermal is hot, retains heat, or has a warming effect.
Explanation:
hope it helps :)
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
and when the thermal energy is can be determined by this formula:
q = M * C *ΔT
when q is the thermal energy
and M is the mass of water = 100 g
and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C
and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C
So by substitution:
∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50
= 20900 J = 20.9 KJ
Potassium or any other metals.
