Answer:

A. bucket and cup have the same thermal energy

Step-by-step explanation:

Thermal energy is a broad term used to express different thermodynamic quantities, such as internal energy, the temperature of an object or the amount of heat exchanged between systems of different temperatures. Thermal energy is the result of the sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all constituent particles in a body. Thermal energy depends directly on the absolute body temperature, measured in kelvin (K), and also depends on the amount of degrees of freedom of the system, ie: the number of directions in which molecules can move, vibrate, oscillate or even rotate.

If two objects have the same temperature, we can say that both have the same thermal energy, so if a bucket full of water and a full glass of water have the same temperature, then the water in the bucket and glass have the same energy. thermal
