Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.

Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.

Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.

Is thermal energy classified as potential or kinetic energy?

Thermal energy is classified as a form of kinetic energy.


What is the relationship between thermal energy and potential or kinetic energy?

Thermal energy is related to potential and kinetic energy because it is a form of energy that results from the movement of particles within a substance. When potential or kinetic energy is transferred to particles, they move faster and their thermal energy increases. In turn, thermal energy can be converted back into potential or kinetic energy through various processes.


Is thermal energy the same as kinetic energy?

Thermal energy is the total energy of particles in an object due to their motion and position, including both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy specifically refers to the energy of particles in motion, while thermal energy includes this kinetic energy as well as potential energy from particle positions.
