What is the main difference between temperature and thermal energy?

• Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy, while thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all particles.

• Temperature measures the total energy, while thermal energy measures the average energy.

• Temperature and thermal energy are the same and have no differences.

• Temperature is measured in joules, while thermal energy is measured in degrees Celsius.

How does the amount of hot chocolate affect the amount of thermal energy compared to its temperature?

• More hot chocolate means that the total thermal energy will be higher AND the temperature will be higher.

• More hot chocolate decreases thermal energy and decreases temperature.

• More hot chocolate increases the total thermal energy but the temperature stays the same.

• Having more hot chocolate does not affect thermal energy or temperature.
