Jared made a study chart about heat, temperature, kinetic energy, and thermal energy. Which change would correct the error in his chart? Add "potential energy" to the description of temperature. Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy." Change kinetic energy description from "energy of motion" to "stored energy." Replace the term "temperature" with "internal energy."

Answer: B. Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy."

Explanation: Just did it

Ruben Clark · Answer 2

Switch the term "heat" with the term "thermal energy."

Explanation:

Heat (Q) is the transfer of energy from one object to another because of their temperature differences.

Thermal energy (E) is the total sum of the energy possessed by a system or an object due to the movement of particles.

As thermal energy is the total KE of the object/system and heat is the tranfer of this energy, it is incorrect to say that system has heat content because it is only the mode of transfer.
