Question

Which best describes thermal energy?

A.)It is the difference between internal energies of two or more substances.
B.)It is the sum of internal energies of two or more substances.
C.)It is the portion of internal energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.
D.)It is the portion of potential energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) It is the portion of potential energy that can be transferred from one substance to another.

Explanation:

Heat is change in thermal energy. So, thermal energy is the net potential energy of the system. while, internal energy is the net potential energy + the net kinetic energy of the system. So, that's the difference.

Definition:

Thermal energy (also called heat energy) is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
