To determine which water sample has the lowest kinetic energy, we need to understand that kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature. Higher the temperature, higher the kinetic energy.
From the table, we can see that Sample 1 has the lowest temperature of 2 degrees. Therefore, Sample 1 also has the lowest kinetic energy.
