Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The energy of the moving particles of a substance is
A
heat energy
B
nuclear energy
C
mechanical energy
D
radiant energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Heat energy is the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases. Heat energy can be transferred from one object to another. The transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects is called heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -The energy of motion is called kinetic energy. Particles within matter are in constant motion. The amount of motion of these particles depends on the kinetic energy they possess. Particles with more kinetic energy move faster and farther apart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thermal energy, or heat, is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat increases when these particles move faster. Geothermal energy is the thermal energy in the earth. Motion energy is energy stored in moving objects.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because thermal energy is due to the movement of particles, it is a type of kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion. Thermal energy results in something having an internal temperature, and that temperature can be measured-for example, in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit on a thermometer.
