Question

What determines an object’s thermal energy

Answer 1

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

• The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

• If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

Additional Information :

• Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

• The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

1. number of molecules in the object
2. temperature of the object.
3. thermal energy it has.
