Still shot from the movie Schindler's List The photo above shows Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth, shooting prisoners in the Plaszow camp in the movie Schindler's List. In the background is the quarry where Steven Spielberg built a replica of the Plaszow camp.
Thermal energy is the total kinetic and potential energy of the  particles in a substance.    related to the motion of molecules   . Thermal energy. The amount of heat energy in an object depends on three things :  it's temperature, it's mass, and the material it's made from.
How fast molecules are moving is dependent on the amount of kinetic energy the particle posses. The more kinetic (movement) energy the particle has, the fast it is moving. Alsâ¦o keep in mind that temperature is the average kinetic energy of a bunch of molecules (for instance, your coffee this morning).
