Explanation:

• Thermal Equilibrium: When temperature is equal and energy flow stops (matches the definition of thermal equilibrium, where two systems in contact have the same temperature and no net heat transfer).
• Kinetic Energy: energy of motion (kinetic energy is defined as the energy an object possesses due to its motion).
• Potential Energy: energy stored in the position/molecules of an object (potential energy is associated with the position or configuration of an object, like gravitational or chemical potential energy).
• State of Matter: Different forms matter can take: solid, liquid, gas, plasma (states of matter refer to the distinct physical forms matter can exist in).
• conservation of energy: Energy is neither created nor destroyed (the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be transformed from one form to another, but the total amount remains constant).
• Heat: Thermal energy expressed as calories or joules (heat is the transfer of thermal energy, and it can be measured in units like calories or joules).
