This is measured in calories. 1 calorie is defined as the heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degC, though often the kilocalorie is used which is the same for 1 kg of water. Any object other than water will have its own specific heat capacity which depends entirely on the material it is made from. You can look up in tables the specific heat capacity of different materials. There is a fixed relation between heat energy and mechanical energy, which is that there are 4.2 Joules in 1 calorie.

The energy stored in hot objects is in the form of thermal energy, which represents the kinetic energy of the particles within the object as they vibrate and move more rapidly due to the elevated temperature. This thermal energy can be transferred to other objects or converted into other forms of energy.

I don't speak English fluently.... but maybe it will help you:

inside energy. It can be also interpreted as the kinetic energy of all elements of the substance. Or just thermal energy.

i think it depends where you are using it.

Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. The faster an object is moving, the more kinetic energy it has.

In the case of hot objects, the hotter an object is, the faster the molecules inside the object are moving around. Hotter objects have individual molecules with higher kinetic energies than those of cooler objects.
