Heat is also a type of energy, so energy units would be used in both cases. The standard (i.e., international) unit for all sorts of energy is the joule.

Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which term is defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Heat is a measure of the amount of energy due to the motion of the particles in a gas, liquid, or solid. Temperature is a measure of the average amount of heat energy in a given body.
What does a doctor use to measure the average kinetic energy of the molecules in your body?
Let us first define Kinetic Energy. Kinetic Energy is often referred to the energy a mass has due to its motion. However, when referring to the heat of an object, Kinetic Energy refers to how excited the particles are of the object. A measure of heat of the human body could be taken as temperature which has the SI units Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvins. Therefore, the measure of the Kinetic Energy of the human body, as a standard: the human body has a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.
What is the amount of energy required to change a material from a liquid to a gas?
Latent Heat of Evaporation, or Evaporation Enthalpy. It is given in units of energy over unit of mass, i.e., KJ/Kg.
What is released when chemical bonds are broken?
"This is a difficult question to answer exactly since (1) potential energy is not something that is directly measured - it can only be deduced from the heats produced or absorbed in a transformation, and (2) the heat produced or absorbed (enthalpy) in a chemical transformation vary from substance to substance. In general, we expect that when chemical bonds are formed, energy is released - imagine the individual atoms as having energy and have to be slowed down in order that chemical bonds can form. Alternatively, and more accurately, when two atoms spontaneously form a chemical bond it must mean that the entropy of this system has increased, since two separate atoms have more disorganization (entropy) then one complete molecule, then in order for the process to be spontaneous (entropy increases), there must be some heat released. The problem now is relating heat to potential energy. I would rather you relate this to internal energy rather than potential energy (which is not quite directly applicable to chemical systems). If we think of internal energy, we know, by definition, that internal energy is a function of the heat and work that goes in and out of the system. Since most chemical transformations do not involve work, then internal energy is mostly a function of the heat that enters or leaves the system. Thus, when a chemical bond is formed spontaneously, heat leaves the system, the internal energy of the system goes down. You may then think of internal energy as a kind of potential energy and say that because the system is less energetic (since heat left the system) that it must now have a lower potential energy."
Is temp or heat measured in degrees?
If you want to be pedantic, scientists measure temperature in kelvins, not degrees. Heat is energy and is measured in energy units, like joules.
What units are used to measure heat enegy?
In the SI, the same is used as for any other kind of energy: the Joule.
What is heat What are units of heat energy called?
Heat is molecular motion; the units are BTU and calories.
What is heat what and are units of heat energy called?
Heat is molecular motion; the units are BTU and calories.
Is Temperature a measure of the amount of heat stored in a substance?
No. As Temperature isn't by any way a measure of how much energy is ''stored'' in a substance, it vary with the heat capacity of the said substance...«Heat capacity (usually denoted by a capital C, often with subscripts), or thermal capacity, is the measurable physical quantity that characterizes the amount of heat required to change a substance's temperature by a given amount. In the International System of Units (SI), heat capacity is expressed in units of joule(s) (J) per kelvin (K).»
A measure of heat energy?
A measure of heat energy can be done easily using a thermometer. This will measure the amount of thermal energy transferred.
What is a measure of the kinetic energy of the individual particles in a object called?
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual particles in an object is called temperature.
What is the relationship of heat and mechanical energy in terms of units?
You can use the same units (energy units) for both.
What is the transfer thermal or internal energy?
the transfer in internal energy is also called heat
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
If 100 units of electricity produce 20 units of light energy and 30 units of sound energy how many units of heat energy would the remainder of the energy produce?
50 units
What is the origin for wind energy?
the heats internal heat energy
