Question

Use the table to answer the question. Procedure Number Procedure Steps 1 Record temperature of water. Put ice in water. Record temperature after ice melts. 2 Put ice in water. Touch water to determine if it feels colder after ice melts. 3 Measure the mass of the water. Put ice in water. Measure the mass of water as ice cubes melt. 4 Determine temperature and mass of water. Put ice in water. Record the time for ice to melt. A student lists some possible ways to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water. Which procedure would be best to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy? (1 point) Responses 3 3 4 4 1 1 2

Answer 1

To investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water, the most relevant procedure would be **Procedure 1**. This procedure measures the temperature of the water before and after the ice melts, which relates directly to changes in kinetic energy (temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles).

Therefore, the best choice is **1**.
