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.
Some examples of objects that have stored energy are a compressed spring, a stretched rubber band, a charged battery, and a lifted weight. These objects contain potential energy that can be released and converted into kinetic energy when the stored energy is released.
Objects such as batteries, capacitors, springs, and food contain stored energy. These objects can release their stored energy in various forms, such as electrical, mechanical, or thermal energy, when triggered by external factors.
Yes, coffee can be considered a form of thermal energy as it contains heat energy. When coffee is hot, it has stored thermal energy that can be transferred to other objects or used to do work.
Elastic potential energy is stored in compressed or stretched objects. This type of energy is potential energy that is stored when an object is deformed (compressed or stretched) and has the potential to return to its original shape.
Potential energy is the type of energy that is stored and depends on the interactions between objects, particles, or atoms. This potential energy can be stored in various forms, such as chemical, gravitational, or elastic potential energy.
