Solution
Heat is associated with kinetic energy of random motion of molecules.
Explanation:
When a body is heated its temperature rises and in liquids and gases vibration of molecules about their mean position increases, hence kinetic energy associated with the random motion of molecules increases. So, thermal energy or heat is associated with the random and translatory motions of molecules.

We would like to prepare a scale whose length does not change with temperature. It is proposed to prepare a unit scale of this type whose length remains, say 10 cm. We can use a bimetallic strip made of brass and iron each of different length whose length (both components) would change in such a way that difference between their lengths remain constant. If αiron = 1.2 × 10−5/K and αbrass = 1.8 × 10−5/K, what should we take as length of each strip?
