water at 37°C in a glass

water at 40°C in a swimming pool
water at 40°C in a swimming pool

Answer 1

The object with the highest average kinetic energy will be a drop of water at 90°C. The average kinetic energy of particles in a substance is directly related to its temperature; therefore, the higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles. Since 90°C is greater than 0°C, 37°C, and 40°C, the drop of water at 90°C will have the highest average kinetic energy.
