Question

which would decrease a materials thermal energy? increasing the kinetic energy of the particles that make up the material increasing the temperature of the material moving the material to a location where the temperature is lower heating the material

Explanation:

Thermal energy is related to the temperature and kinetic energy of particles. Increasing kinetic energy (orange), increasing temperature (blue), and heating (red) all increase thermal energy. Moving to a lower - temperature place reduces thermal energy as thermal energy transfer occurs from higher to lower temperature.

Answer:

moving the material to a location where the temperature is lower
