Two iron blocks are the same size. One block has a higher temperature than the other. Which describes the thermal energy of these blocks?

A.
Higher temperature means greater potential energy, which means the warmer block has greater thermal energy.

B.
Lower temperature means greater potential energy, which means the colder block has greater thermal energy.

C.
Lower temperature means greater kinetic energy, which means the colder block has greater thermal energy.

D.
Higher temperature means greater kinetic energy, which means the warmer block has greater thermal energy
i think its B but idk

@Michele_Laino could you help?

michele_laino · Answer

Thermal energy is associated to the kinetic energy of the particles which compose an object, so more is the temperature of an object, and more is the amount of kinetic energy of the particles of that object

i meant D when i put B xD but i think i get it @Michele_Laino
