How will increasing the size of an object affect its thermal energy?

This is a poorly stated question.
What do you mean by size? Volume or mass?
By your question, if all other factors are constant, increasing the size, (whatever you mean by that) will have no effect.
If you mean that you have a mass at a certain temperature and you double the mass at that temperature, then the total energy doubles.

Does the movement of an object affect the amount of thermal energy the object will have?
Yes
Can you add thermal energy to an object without increasing its temperature?
yes-increase its mass
Does the number of particles in an object affect its thermal energy but not its temperature?
yes
Do the number of particles in an object affect its thermal energy but not its temperature?
TRUE
What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
What is heat energy or thermal energy?
Heat is thermal energy moving from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What three factors affect thermal energy?
raising of object temperature, the mass, specific heat
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
Will an object will be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings?
No, an object will not be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings. In this case, the object will instead absorb thermal energy from its surroundings in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
Is temperature a measure of how much thermal energy an object has?
Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.
What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
How does increasing speed affect potential energy?
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
