Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The internal energy of any material is calculated as the sum of kinetic and potential energy of randomly distributed molecules.

This energy depends on temperature as well, if the temperature will increase the randomness will also increase hence will be the internal energy.

If any work is done on the system, then also the internal energy of the system is increased.
