Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two main factors that affect the magnitude of thermal energy of a system.

The thermal energy of a system depends on

i) Temperature of the body

ii) Mass of the body

Thus, the greater the mass of a substance at a particular temperature, the greater its thermal energy. Also, at a higher temperature, an object has greater thermal energy.
