A student sets up four cups with 40 mL of water in each and adds different amounts of ice to each cup. The student measures the temperature of the water before and after the ice melts in each cup. Which statement describes how the student can determine the connection between the temperature change and the transfer of kinetic energy?(1 point)
Responses

The cup with the greatest temperature change has the greatest transfer of kinetic energy, and this transfer occurs from the ice to the water.
The cup with the greatest temperature change has the greatest transfer of kinetic energy, and this transfer occurs from the ice to the water.

The cup with the greatest temperature change has the least transfer of kinetic energy, and this transfer occurs from the water to the ice.

(Heat flows from the warmer water to the colder ice, causing the water's temperature to drop as kinetic energy is transferred to melt the ice.)
