Best Answer

The thermal energy of any substance is the product of its specific heat and the temperature difference between it and the surroundings. So if you increase the temperature you directly increase the thermal energy, in proportion to the difference between its temperature and ambient temperature.

Yes, it's direct proportional to it.

This is however not true for the specific heat capacity, which is specific for a certain mass of material (mostly specific for one kg).

yes,because there will be just heat transfer if theres a change in temperature but also depends on the mass or amount of a material

How would density affect thermal energy?

All substances have a so called Specific Heat which defines the thermal energy possessed relative to water, which has 1 calorie per gram per degC.So it is the mass of the sample of the material that determines its thermal energy content, not its density.


How do you convert Mass into thermal energy?

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.
