In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
The internal energy of a system is the total thermal kinetic energy and thermal potential energy of all its atoms and molecules. The Kinetic Theory of Matter is explains the kinetic energy of particles in an object.Kinetic energy can be translational, rotational, or vibrational.The kinetic energy of an atom can influence the kinetic energy of other atoms. Temperature is an approximate measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules of an object.Heating is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to their temperature difference.he total kinetic energy of all the particles is called the thermal energy or thermal kinetic energy of the object. This is opposed to the kinetic energy of the whole object (like a moving object) and the kinetic energy of a single particle. However, the particles also have their own potential energy.
