please include explanation

Answer 1

Answer:The total kinetic and potential energy of its particles

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.
