Cynthia sees that most of the ice in her iced tea has melted. Assuming the water and the ice are at the same temperature, what happened to the particles in her ice?(1 point)
The particles have the same amount of kinetic energy but no longer vibrate in place.
The particles have had their kinetic energy converted into thermal energy.
The particles have a much greater amount of kinetic energy than before
The particles have a higher temperature than before and are moving more freely.

The correct answer is: **The particles have a much greater amount of kinetic energy than before.**
When ice melts, the temperature of the ice-water mixture increases, and the ice particles gain kinetic energy, allowing them to break free from their fixed positions in the solid structure and move more freely in the liquid state.
