Which object will have particles with the highest average kinetic energy?

water at 37°C in a glass

water at 40°C in a swimming pool

an iceberg at 0°C

a drop of water at 90°C

1 answer

The drop of water at 90°C will have particles with the highest average kinetic energy. This is because temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles. Therefore, as the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles also increases.
