Use the table to answer the question. Procedure Number Procedure Steps 1 Record temperature of water. Put ice in water. Record temperature after ice melts. 2 Put ice in water. Touch water to determine if it feels colder after ice melts. 3 Measure the mass of the water. Put ice in water. Measure the mass of water as ice cubes melt. 4 Determine temperature and mass of water. Put ice in water. Record the time for ice to melt. A student lists some possible ways to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water. Which procedure would be best to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy? (1 point) Responses 3 3 4 4 1 1 2
1 answer
To investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water, the most relevant procedure would be Procedure 1. This procedure measures the temperature of the water before and after the ice melts, which relates directly to changes in kinetic energy (temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles).
Therefore, the best choice is 1.
