Answer 1

The best procedure to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water is:

1

This is because it involves recording the temperature of the water before, during, and after the melting of the ice, which directly relates to the changes in kinetic energy as the ice absorbs heat from the water, causing a temperature change.

Therefore, the answer is 1.
