Question

heating an object to a higher temperature increases that objects... calentar un objeto a una temperatura más alta aumenta la... thermal energy potential energy chemical energy elastic energy

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. The hotter the substance, the more its particles move, and the higher its thermal energy. Heating an object increases the motion of its particles, thus increasing its thermal energy. Potential energy is related to an object's position (e.g., gravitational potential energy) or state (e.g., elastic potential energy when stretched). Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Elastic energy is a form of potential energy related to the deformation of an elastic object. Since heating affects the temperature - related motion of particles, it directly impacts thermal energy.

Answer:

thermal energy
