Question

Heat in a substance is an example of ________ energy. A. phase B. kinetic C. potential D. evaporative

Answer 1

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there will be flow of energy from one substance to another then it is defined as the heat.

Since, heat is responsible for the movement of particles of a substance. This means that more if the heat more will be the kinetic energy as kinetic energy is the energy obtained by particles of a substance due to their motion.

Also, kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

K.E =
`(3)/(2)kT`

So, more is the temperature of an object more will be heat transferred by it. Therefore, more will be its kinetic energy.

Thus, we can conclude that heat in a substance is an example of kinetic energy.

Answer 2

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above is option B. Heat in a substance is an example of a kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is a kind of energy that is in motion. We can feel the kinetic energy of heat through their temperatures because heat is being transferred.
