Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the movement of particles within an object. It can manifest as either potential energy when it is stored within an object due to its temperature, or as kinetic energy when the particles are in motion, creating heat.

Which is not a factor in either kinetic or potential energy?

Temperature is not a factor in either kinetic or potential energy. Kinetic energy is dependent on an object's velocity, while potential energy is related to an object's position in a force field. Temperature does not directly impact these forms of energy.


Except for mass energy all energy in the universe is either?

kinetic or potential


A moving object can do work so it has what kind of energy?

Either kinetic, mechanical, thermal, potential, or all the other types of energy. Pick one


When do you substract potential or kenetic energy?

you can subtract either potential o kinetic energy from the total energy to find the other


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

Electric energy is a form of potential energy that is stored in electric fields. When this energy is converted into motion, it becomes kinetic energy. In this way, electric energy can be transformed into either potential or kinetic energy depending on the situation.


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

Electricity is a form of energy that can be converted into either potential energy, which is stored energy, or kinetic energy, which is energy of motion. The relationship between electricity and potential or kinetic energy is that electricity can be used to create or transfer these types of energy.


What is needed to create mechanical energy?

This energy can be formed either from kinetic/movement energy or potential energy


What is the physical property of matter that results in diffusion?

Its either due to kinetic energy, potential energy, or mass


How does the force of gravity affect the energy of an object in motion?

The force of gravity affects the energy of an object in motion by either increasing or decreasing its potential and kinetic energy. Gravity can either pull the object down, increasing its kinetic energy, or lift it up, increasing its potential energy.


Do boiling water causes chemical energy?

Boiling water can be either thermal energy or kinetic energy dependent upon how it's used. If it is used to heat up another object (thereby transferring energy in that manner) it is thermal; if the water vapor from the boiled water is used to say, run a turbine, it would be kinetic in that sense. Chances are, for most cases involving boiling water, or more specifically the water vapor produced by it, the energy associated with that will be kinetic.


What can all energy can be categorized as?

All energy can be categorized as either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (energy that is stored and has the potential to do work).
