Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Heat is
A
measure in degrees
B
a measure of total kinetic energy
C
measures temperature
D
a measure of average kinetic energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heat energy is the total kinetic energy of the atoms of a substance. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the atoms of a substance. Heat is like the total number of points and temperature is like the average score. Each atom has a certain amount of kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature is a measure of total kinetic energy of molecules. K.E is directly proportional to temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heat is a form of energy. It is the total kinetic energy of constituent particles of objects. Heat energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -Heat is a measure of how much thermal energy is transferred between two systems. It is easy to turn mechanical energy into thermal energy, for example using friction. It’s also possible to turn thermal energy into mechanical energy by using a heat engine, but there will always be waste heat with this method.
