hey help me!!! whats thermal energy???
Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the movement of particles in a substance. It is related to the temperature of the substance, with hotter substances having more thermal energy. Thermal energy can be transferred from one object to another through conduction, convection, and radiation.
so the answer in my test would be the measurement of energy in an object due to positon conduction or chemical compostion right????
No, that would not be the correct answer. Thermal energy is not a measurement, but rather a type of energy that an object possesses due to the movement of its particles. It is not solely due to position, conduction, or chemical composition, but the cumulative result of all the particles' movements in the substance.
ok heres my answers a distance between particles and their freedom to move around.
the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance
a material that is conductor of heat
sorry i terrible at science
Your first answer, "a distance between particles and their freedom to move around," is partially correct. It describes how thermal energy relates to the physical state of the substance, where particles have more freedom to move around in solids, liquids, and gases that are at higher temperatures.
Your second answer, "the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance," is correct. This is a common definition of thermal energy.
Your third answer, "a material that is conductor of heat," refers to a separate concept called thermal conductivity, which is the ability of a material to transfer thermal energy through it. However, a material can conduct heat without having thermal energy itself, so it is not a definition of thermal energy.
Overall, your answers show some understanding of thermal energy, but there is room for improvement in clarifying the concepts.
