Question

A student wants to collect data during an experiment about the transfer of kinetic energy in a sample of water and ice. Which tool will help her collect the necessary data? (1 point)
• balance
• graduated cylinder
• meter stick
• thermometer

Answer 1

To collect data during an experiment about the transfer of kinetic energy in a sample of water and ice, the most relevant tool among the options provided would be a **thermometer**. This is because measuring temperature changes can provide insights into the kinetic energy of the molecules in water and ice as they change states (e.g., from ice to water), which is directly related to the transfer of kinetic energy.
