It doesn't. It just effects it.

What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
What are the three quantities that determine gravitational potential energy?
The mass and distance (weight and height) determine the potential energy. A third factor can be the relative motion of the objects, which does not change the potential but may determine its effect.
Is temperature potential energy?
No.No.No.No.
Is heat energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
What are factors that determine the size of the electric potential and electric potential energy?
Mass and Charge
To maintain your body temperature your converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy true or false?
It is true that to maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
True or false To maintain your body temperature your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy?
It is true that to maintain your body temperature, your body converts chemical potential energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat.
What formula do you use to determine the Gravitational potential energy of an object?
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
Is temperature a measure of the average potential energy of each particle within an object?
It would not be the potential energy because potential is the measure of energy that is not in motion yet. When you measure the temperature and it reads 200 degrees YOU WILL FEEL IT because the objects molecules are in motion. If you measured its potential energy at this point of 200 degrees it would probably be close to zero if not zero. When you measure the temperature you are measuring the kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is the measure of how much energy the molecules have that are in motion.
How can you determine a objects potential energery?
If you mean gravitational potential energy, you use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
Does potential energy increase when temperature increase?
It would depend. Within a system there can be isolated factors influencing different kinetic and potential energies. If the kinetic energy was increased (Let's say gravity), and a random object is pushed off of a table (Now potential energy), the potential energy would in fact be increased. This increase in energy is proportional in the potential and kinetic stages. If the temperature were increased and a "reaction" occurred the potential energy would go up.
