Specific heat , heat and temperature

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called:

• thermal energy
• conduction
• convection
• temperature

Which description defines heat?

• total thermal energy of an object or substance

• change in the temperature of a substance in degrees Celsius

• energy transferred between objects at different temperatures

• average kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance
