a heated swimming pool

Answer 1

The particles in water have the most kinetic energy in **steam rising from a kettle**. As water transitions from a liquid to a gas (steam), the particles gain energy and move more rapidly, resulting in higher kinetic energy compared to water in other states, such as refrigerated water, ice, or even water in a heated swimming pool.
