Quick Check - Thermal Energy

Thermal Energy

• The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object.

• Energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object.

• A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

• The heating of a substance that causes its particles to move more quickly.
