The Thermal Energy

The thermal energy of an object is the total kinetic energy of its particles. An object's
thermal energy depends on the mass of the object, its temperature, its state of matter,
and its chemical composition. Larger objects have more thermal energy than smaller
objects of the same material and density at the same temperature. A liquid substance
has more thermal energy than the same mass of the substance in its solid form.
9. Suppose you have two identical objects made of the same mass of the same material.
If one object is 20 °C warmer than the other, which object has more thermal energy?

Thermal Energy is directly proportional to the temperature

Or


\\ \sf\longmapsto Thermal\: Energy\propto Temperature

So if temperature increases the thermal Energy also increases.

An object which is 20°C warmer than other has more thermal energy
