Mo8-L5a: How are Temperature, Kinetic Energy, and Heat Related and Different?
The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat.
All objects have thermal energy; however, you heat something when thermal energy transfers from one
object to another.
The rate at which heating occurs depends on the difference in temperatures between the objects.
SUMMARY
Key Concept How are Temperature, Kinetic Energy, and Heat
How are Temperature, Kinetic Energy, and Heat Related
Related and Different?
How do heat and thermal energy differ? The greater the distance between two particles
or two objects, the greater the potential energy.
Heat is the movement of thermal energy from a
warmer object to a cooler object.
When thermal energy moves between a material
and its environment, the material’s temperature
changes.
