why is because think about it a pot of water has a little bit of water so that means little bit of molecules. and an iceberg has to many. so even though an ice berg is cold doesn't mean its not heated so there are more moving molecules moving les fast then a small pot of water moving more fast and you should mesure it in kelvin aka 0* as lowest.

Are temperature and thermal energy the same?
No.Thermal energy refers to the amount of heat energy a mass holds.Temperature refers to how hot a mass is.* They are related but they are not the same. If the temperature of a mass is increased, the thermal energy of that mass will also increase.AnswerThe term, 'thermal energy', is obsolete, having been replaced with the term, 'internal energy'. Internal energy and temperature are linked in the sense that the higher a body's internal energy, the higher its temperature. However, internal energy also depends on the state of a body. For example, water and ice can coexist at zero degrees Celsius, but the water will always have a higher internal energy than the ice at that temperature.These days, 'heat' is defined as energy in transit between a hotter body and a cooler body. It's NOT the same thing as internal energy.
What has more thermal energy a cup of boiling water or a pot of boiling water?
please help
The most famous examples of thermal energy?
A 12 ounce glass of water at 70 degrees has more thermal energy than a 12 ounce glass of water at 60 degrees.Adding ice to a glass of water causes the temperature of the water to decrease because the thermal energy in the water causes the ice to melt.A grill gives off thermal energy by burning propane.The sun's thermal energy heats our atmosphere.Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water.
What material poorly conducts thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water. Thermal energy can be transferred from one body, usually hotter, to a second body, usually colder, in three ways: conduction , convection, and radiation. Insulator
Does the amount of substance change its thermal energy?
Yes, the more substance you have, the slower the temperature change.
What has more heat energy an iceberg or hot tea?
It surely depends on how big the iceberg is ,as a really big iceberg contains a lot of thermal energy and much more than a liter of hot water.
Which has more heat energy the ice sculpture or a lighted match?
First note that "thermal energy" is a term that is long since obsolete. The correct term is "Internal Energy". "Thermal energy" was a term that was in use when people thought of energy as being some kind of fluid called "caloric" that was transferred between things at different temperatures. With that said: an iceberg has more internal energy when compared to a hot cup of coffee mainly due to the variance in size. Total internal energy is not necessarily determined by the presence of heat but the mass of the molecules present.
What is temperature in physics?
Temperature is a measure of the concentration of thermal energy. Consider a lit match and a beaker of room temperature water. The water will have more thermal energy (due to water's high specific heat capacity) than the flame, but the thermal energy of the flame is more concentrated.
What has more thermal energy oxygen or water?
no its just like that
How can you tell whether one glass of water has more thermal energy than the other?
You would need to calculate, or estimate, the thermal energy.
Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.

How does the water warm up?
Thermal energy applied to the water is transformed into kinetic energy by the water molecules. The water molecules have more energy so the temperature increases.
How does temperature affect energy?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.

Does ice cold water have more eneergy than cold tap water?
The energy content of still water isolated from external energy sources is generally thermal energy, and "cold" is in actuality the absence of heat. Thus the colder the water is, the less thermal energy it contains.
