Any object that is above zero Kelvin - in other words, any object - contains thermal energy. As a simplified explanation, the thermal energy is contained in the movement of its atoms.

Does a hot object contain thermal energy, or does it contain heat?

A hot object contains thermal energy, which is the total energy of its particles. Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between objects at different temperatures.


How is heat related to thermal energy related can an object contain heat?

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two objects due to a difference in temperature. Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the motion of its particles. An object can store thermal energy, but it does not "contain" heat in the same way since heat refers to the transfer of energy between objects.


What is something in the classroom that has thermal energy?

A hot cup of coffee or tea that has been sitting on a desk would contain thermal energy.


Does temperature contain any particles?

Temperature itself does not contain particles. It is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance. So, while temperature is related to the motion of particles, it does not physically contain any particles itself.


Are there any caves in icebergs?

No in the conventioal sense though icebergs may contain crevasses.


What does the sun contain that it can burn anything in seconds?

A lot of thermal energy.


In the phrase 'icebergs contain' is contain plural or singular?

Here it is plural since the subject icebergs is plural.Verbs forms that are used with plural words (ending in S) will normally not end in S, and vice versa (e.g. icebergs contain; an iceberg contains).


What ocean contain icebergs?

The Arctic Ocean


Why do cold objects have thermal energy?

Cold objects still contain thermal energy because temperature is not the only factor that determines the amount of thermal energy an object has. Even at cold temperatures, the particles within an object still possess kinetic energy that contributes to the overall thermal energy of the object.


The thermal energy in a cup of tea is the thermal energy in a pot of tea at the same temperature?

Yes, the thermal energy in a cup of tea and a pot of tea at the same temperature would be the same, assuming they contain the same amount of liquid. Thermal energy depends on temperature and quantity of substance.


Which would contain the greatest amount of thermal energy?

substances in gas form


Explain why thermal energy depend on mass and temperature?

Thermal energy depends on mass because systems with more mass contain more particles that contribute to the total thermal energy. Meanwhile, thermal energy depends on temperature because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system, with higher temperatures corresponding to higher average kinetic energies and thus higher thermal energy.
