Interpretation:
The difference between thermal energy and temperature needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction :
The energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules, is known as the thermal energy of an object.
A physical property of matter which quantitatively shows hot and cold is known as temperature.
Answer to Problem 2E
Thermal energy relies on the mass of the particles and it is the total amount of energy but, temperature is the average amount of kinetic energy in the sample.
Explanation of Solution
The average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance is known as temperature. Thermal energy is a method of transfer of energy to or from a substance. Thermal energy is a concept frequently used to define the energy content of a substance. The thermal energy of a substance is based on the number of particles in a sample, while temperature is equal irrespective of the size of the sample.
Thermal energy relies on the mass of the particles and it is the total amount of energy but temperature is the average amount of kinetic energy in the sample.
