Question
which is the result of the motion of all the particles and the distance and attractions between those particles in the system?
o heat
o potential energy
o kinetic energy
o thermal energy
Thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in a system due to their motion and interactions. Kinetic energy is just the energy of motion of particles, potential energy is due to position and forces like attractions, and heat is energy transfer. Thermal energy encompasses both motion - related (kinetic) and interaction - related (potential) energies of particles in a system.
