water at 37°C in a glass

an iceberg at 0°C
an iceberg at 0°C

a drop of water at 90°C
a drop of water at 90°C

water at 40°C in a swimming pool

Answer 1

The object with particles that have the highest average kinetic energy will be **a drop of water at 90°C**.

Kinetic energy of particles in a substance is directly related to its temperature: higher temperatures correspond to higher average kinetic energy of the particles. Among the options given, the drop of water at 90°C has the highest temperature.
