Question 15 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

At which temperature does water have particles with a greater average kinetic energy than water with a temperature of 30°C?

Answer
7
77°F
9
95°F
2
280K
3
300K

Explanation

A higher temperature means greater average kinetic energy. Since 30°C is 86°F, 95°F (about 35°C) is warmer; 77°F, 280 K, and 300 K are all below 30°C. So water at 95°F has greater average kinetic energy.
