Answer 1

The correct statement regarding the similarities and differences between the ice and water in the glass at the same temperature is:

All of the particles will have the same kinetic energy, but the particles in the water will have more potential energy.

At the same temperature, the average kinetic energy of the particles in both ice and water is the same. However, water molecules have greater potential energy due to the freedom of movement in the liquid state compared to the structured arrangement of molecules in the solid state (ice).
