Question

The temperature of water in a beaker is 45°C. What does this measurement represent?

A) the heat capacity of water
B) the total thermal energy of water
C) the average kinetic energy of water particles
D) the total kinetic energy of water particles

Answer 1

Your answer would be C, with a quick lookup of this question online lol

Answer 2

C. The average kinetic energy of water particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it mentioned Temperature 45°, this clearly specify we are talking about kinetic energy of water particles, as temperature is nothing but the average of kinetic energy of particles randomly moving in water.

The more hotter the water, particles will move more vigorously hence more will be the average kinetic energy.
