Many think that temperature and heat are the same thing, but is not. Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy, and it does not depend on the number of particles, size or type. (what is temperature? n.d.)While heat is the total energy of molecules in a substance, and it depends on the number of particles and the type.(how does temperature differ from heat? n.d.)Kinetic energy is the energy of an object because of its motion and is the property of a moving particle or object. Kinetic energy not only depends on the motion but also on its mass, its formula is KE: 1/2mv^2(Nave 2011). Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its location and state. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when the object is in
