Internal energy is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. When the temperature of an object changes due to the addition or removal of energy via heat, we tend to think of it as "thermal energy".

Wiki User
∙ 12y agoAt the microscopic level, it is the total KINETIC energy of all it's particles.
Thermal energy is also the total amount of energy in a sample that is responsible for it's temperature.

I thought it would be obvious just grammatically?
and yes, the TEMPERATURE is the total average kinetic energy of the MOLECULES of an object

What is total energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal Energy
What measures the total energy of particles in a substance?
thermal energy temperature
Which describes the thermal energy of particles in a substance?
total value of all kinetic and potential energy
What is the difference between temperature and thermal energy?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of all particles, but thermal energy is the total amount of energywithin a solid, liquid or gas. Thermal energy implies that energy is being produced and maintained in a closed system. Temperature is a stable measurement of something.
How does an increase in the total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance?
Thermal energy at the molecular level is a reflection of how fast their random motion and how "agitated" they might appear were you able to view them. In more detailed terms their nett thermal energy U is the sum of U(rot), how fast they are spinning, + U(trans) - how fast they are moving in one particular direction, and + U(vib) - where the atoms in the molecule would seem to bounce back and forth in their bonds with respect to the position of other atoms. Increasing the thermal energy would increase the speed of these motions.
How does a thermometer help when comparing the energies of particles?
A thermometer measures the amount of thermal energy a material has. This thermal energy is related to the vibrational and rotational energy the particles in the material have. By using the thermometer to measure the temperature of a material you are, in effect, measuring the amount of energy the particles of that material have.
What is total energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal Energy
What term refers to the total kinetic energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called?
The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance is called thermal energy. Thermal energy is measured in joules.
