What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

The temperature of an object is directly proportional to the amount of heat energy it contains. And changing the temperature of an object, therefore, means changing the heat energy it contains. But the temperature is also dependant on the object's mass, and a property of the material called the specific heat. Specific heat is the the heat per unit mass that corresponds to a unit temperature (e.g. 1 degree) for the particular material. For example, liquid water's specific heat is 1 calorie per gram per degree celcius, or 1 cal/g∙°C.

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
