An ice cube on a counter starts to melt. This is because the air has what then the ice cube is the answer, less kinetic energy, less thermal energy the same thermal energy are more kinetic energy.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "more thermal energy." When the ice cube is exposed to the air in the room, it absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings. This increased thermal energy causes the ice cube to melt, resulting in a phase change from solid to liquid.
