It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.

Answer

Neither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

Why is heat energy linked with kinetic energy?

It is linked because heat is the total potential and kinetic energy of an object, so as kinetic energy increases, heat increases.


Does potential energy equal kinetic energy plus heat and sound?

Normally the heat and sound are forms of energy wasted in the conversion from potential to kinetic energy. By the conservation of energy principle the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy not withstanding energy losses.


What is the combinatoin of all the kinetic and potential energy of an object?
