How does heat differ from thermal energy?

• Heat is the transfer of thermal energy, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles

• Heat and thermal energy are the same

• Heat is stored energy, while thermal energy is energy in motion

• Heat is a form of chemical energy, while thermal energy is not

What happens to particles in a substance when thermal energy is added?

• They move slower

• They move faster

• They stay the same

• They stop moving

What is thermal equilibrium?

• When substances reach different temperatures

• When substances reach the same temperature with no net energy transfer

• When substances have no kinetic energy

• When substances are at absolute zero temperature
