Answer 1

The kinetic energy of a substance is directly related to its temperature. The higher the temperature, the greater the average kinetic energy of the particles. Based on the temperatures provided:

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

Sample 4, which has a temperature of 31.4°C, has the lowest temperature and therefore the lowest kinetic energy among the samples.

So, the answer is 04 (Sample 4).
