Question 4 (2 points)

Which system has atoms with the highest average kinetic energy?
room temperature
non of these
cold water
warm water

Answer 1

warm water

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy refers to the energy that possesses an object due to the motion of its molecules. Kinetic energy is positively associated with temperature. When heating water, water molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster than the molecules of cold water. In consequence, the temperature of an object can be considered as the average amount of kinetic energy that its molecules carry.
