You generally need a catalyst or a mechanism to convert the energy. For example to convert fuel (a mass) into thermal energy, oxidizer and a spark are needed.

Does thermal energy affect mass?

No, thermal energy does not affect mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains, while thermal energy is a measure of the internal energy of an object due to the movement of its particles.


How does contracting a protostar convert gravitational energy into thermal energy?

Sliding friction tends to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, thermal energy being heat, kinetic energy being movement.

How can one calculate thermal energy from kinetic energy?

To calculate thermal energy from kinetic energy, you can use the equation: Thermal energy 1/2 mass velocity2. This formula relates the kinetic energy of an object (determined by its mass and velocity) to the thermal energy it produces.


How does mass effect thermal energy?

Mass affects thermal energy by determining the amount of kinetic energy particles have. Greater mass means more particles vibrating, resulting in higher thermal energy. Additionally, more massive objects can hold onto thermal energy for longer periods due to their higher heat capacity.
