Select ALL statements below which are true regarding work and energy. Thermal energy is the energy associated with the microscopic motion and bonds of the atoms in the system. An object has more thermal energy if it is hot rather than cold. O The total energy of the system increases if the net work done on the system by external forces is positive. O Work is the transfer of energy by mechanical means, i.e., using forces. The total energy of the system increases if the net work done on the system by external forces is negative. Work and energy have different units.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know the thermal energy is associated with the microscopic motion of the particle. The more energetic particles they collides more frequently as the root mean square velocity of the microscopic particle depends on the temperature which generates more thermal energy.
