Question

Rank the samples from least kinetic energy (1) to most kinetic energy (4).
Sample 1: 98.2 (°C)
Sample 2: 46.0 (°C)
Sample 3: 100.6 (°C)
Sample 4: 31.4 (°C)

Answer 1

Rank the samples from least kinetic energy (1) to most kinetic energy (4).
98.2 (°C)
46.0 (°C)
100.6 (°C)
31.4 (°C)

Answer 2

Kinetic energy in the context of temperature relates to the motion of particles in a substance. Higher temperatures correspond to greater average kinetic energy of the particles. Thus, we can rank the samples based on their temperatures.

Here's the ranking from least kinetic energy (1) to most kinetic energy (4):

1. Sample 4: 31.4 (°C)
2. Sample 2: 46.0 (°C)
3. Sample 1: 98.2 (°C)
4. Sample 3: 100.6 (°C)

This ranking reflects the temperatures, with higher temperatures indicating higher average kinetic energy.

Answer 3

To rank the samples from least kinetic energy (1) to most kinetic energy (4) based on their temperatures:

1. **31.4 °C** (least kinetic energy)
2. **46.0 °C**
3. **98.2 °C**
4. **100.6 °C** (most kinetic energy)

So the ranking is:
- 1: 31.4 °C
- 2: 46.0 °C
- 3: 98.2 °C
- 4: 100.6 °C

This ranking reflects the direct relationship between temperature and kinetic energy, with higher temperatures corresponding to higher kinetic energy.
