Question

Which object will have particles with the highest average kinetic energy?(1 point)
Responses

A.a drop of water at 90°C


B.an iceberg at 0°C


C.water at 40°C in a swimming pool


D.water at 37°C in a glass

Answer 1

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

**A. a drop of water at 90°C**

Kinetic energy of particles is directly related to temperature; higher temperatures mean higher average kinetic energy of the particles. Among the given options, the drop of water at 90°C has the highest temperature, thus the highest average kinetic energy.
