A student records the temperature of serval water samples as shown in the table. Other than temperature, the water samples are the same. Which sample has the lowest kinetic energy?
1 answer
Water sample 4 with a temperature of 31.4 degrees has the lowest kinetic energy. This is because kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, so the sample with the lowest temperature will have the lowest kinetic energy.
