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.
The internal energy of a system is the total thermal kinetic energy and thermal potential energy of all its atoms and molecules. The Kinetic Theory of Matter is explains the kinetic energy of particles in an object.Kinetic energy can be translational, rotational, or vibrational.The kinetic energy of an atom can influence the kinetic energy of other atoms. Temperature is an approximate measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules of an object.Heating is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to their temperature difference.he total kinetic energy of all the particles is called the thermal energy or thermal kinetic energy of the object. This is opposed to the kinetic energy of the whole object (like a moving object) and the kinetic energy of a single particle. However, the particles also have their own potential energy.
