Question

Heat energy can be grouped under the general heading:

• A. Potential energy
• B. Kinetic energy
• C. Both (A) and (B)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Kinetic energy

B: Kinetic energy

1. Heat energy comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance.
2. Heat increases when these atoms and molecules move faster.
3. The more energy, the more the collision between the particle, and the more heat will be due to collision.
4. As we know that the energy possessed by the body due to its motion is called kinetic energy.
5. And heat is coming due to the movement of atoms or molecules, so the heat energy comes under kinetic energy.

Hence, the correct answer is an option (B): Kinetic energy.
