Question

How is heat energy similar to kinetic energy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

As you heat, you increase the average kinetic energy of the particles. Depending on what kinds of motions they are capable of doing (translation, rotation, vibration), they store that energy (in accordance with their heat capacity) into that kind of energy level so that they can perform that motion.

Answer 2

• Thermal energy is produced by a substance whose molecules and atoms vibrate quicker as the temperature rises.
• Heat energy is another name for thermal energy. Kinetic energy is the energy stored in a moving object.
• Since it comes from moving particles, thermal energy is a sort of kinetic energy.
• The relationship between heat and kinetic energy is direct. When the heat source is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
