Thermal Energy Transfer

The relationship between the temperature of a system and the total energy of the system depends on what factors?

• Whether or not all the parts of the system are connected

• The ability of scientists to accurately measure the thermal energy of the system

• Whether or not the system is in motion at the time

• The type, states, and amount of matter in the system
