Answer 1

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

As the temperature of a substance increases, the average kinetic energy of its particles also increases. Therefore, the drop of water at 90°C will have particles moving more quickly compared to the other options listed, which are at lower temperatures.
