Heat = molecular motion =energy
If you apply energy to say, a nail, the particles that the nail consists of will start moving faster, and the nail will heat up.
The same goes the other way around: If you put the hot nail on a block of ice, the ice will cool the nail down. The particles will start moving slower, and the overall energy held by the nail is lessened.

What form of energy does an object get from its motion?
Kinetic energy is the energy caused by the motion of an object.
What is a form of energy caused by increased molecular activity and is a measure of the total energy of the substance?
Kinetic energy is the measure of the total energy of a substance.
What do you call energy in the form of motion?
The energy related to motion is called "kinetic energy".
Can motion energy be transformed into another form of energy?
yes
What is the form of energy associated with he motion position or shape is called?
Mechanical energy
What form of energy does an object get from its motion?
Kinetic energy is the energy caused by the motion of an object.
What is the form of energy caused by motion of molecules?
Thermal energy
What is a form of energy caused by increased molecular activity and is a measure of the total energy of the substance?
Kinetic energy is the measure of the total energy of a substance.
What does the greatest molecular motion occur in?
I would assume in a plasma which is the form which requires the most energy to stay in the same state of matter, and therefore an abundance of molecular movement.
Why is thermal energy a form of kinectic energy?
In modern physics, heat or thermal energy is mass properties sum up from molecular motion and vibration. In the micro scale is the kinetic energy of the atom and molecules.
A form of energy due molecular motion?
"Vector energy" is pseudoscientific nonsense. Technically, the energy of motion is kinetic energy. However, if the motions are random (the molecules are all just jiggling around any which way, as opposed to all moving in the same direction) then this is experienced overall as heat (thermal energy).
What form of energy is the energy of motion as in wind or a waterfall?
That is called kinetic energy - which means, precisely, energy of motion.
What do you call energy in the form of motion?
The energy related to motion is called "kinetic energy".
Is rain a form of energy as motion?
es the rain drops have energy in the motion as they fall
How heat is moved in a metal?
Heat is simply a form of energy generally caused by molecular friction. Heat energizes the molecules of any material, and the subsequent motion causes the generation of frictional heat within the material itself. This transfers the Heat (energy) from one place to another. It can occur from outside to inside a material, or entirely within the material as neighboring molecules are excited into motion. Metal or not, this is how heat is transferred .
Energy in the form of motion is?
That's called "kinetic energy".
Can motion energy be transformed into another form of energy?
yes
