Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass B. The kinetic energy of atoms, ions, and molecules C. The energy stored in an object because of its position D. The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle Part 2 (0.5 point)See Hint Which of the following best describes the term electrostatic potential energy?

The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

The thermal energy is related to the kinetic energy of atoms, ions, and molecules.

What is thermal energy?

The thermal energy of any material is defines as the increase in the internal energy of the material.

When ever heat is given to the material, the atoms and the molecules in the material gains energy and moves with a kinetic energy.

The increase in kinetic energy allows the atoms and the molecules to move with higher velocities in the material, and they collide with each other, thus the temperature of the material increases.

Thus the thermal energy is related to the kinetic energy of atoms, ions, and molecules.
