What does it mean if an object has potential energy
The object has the ability to do work later on when the potential energy is released.
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of a moving object
Why can delta T be in either K or oC?
The difference between the final and initial temperature is the same in K and oC
What are the units required for the 3 variables in the kinetic energy formula?

Heat is known as a process quantity, what does that mean
It is defined in the context of something "happening". This "something" is the process of heat transfer. Heat must be transferred, something doesn't simply have heat.
