Question

which object will have particles with the highest average kinetic energy?

1. A drop of water at 90°C.
2. Water at 37°C in a glass.
3. An iceberg at 0°C.
4. Water at 40°C in a swimming pool

Answer 1

The object that will have particles with the highest average kinetic energy is:

4. Water at 40°C in a swimming pool.

As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases. Therefore, the water at 40°C in a swimming pool will have higher average kinetic energy compared to the other options listed.
