The best procedure to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy using ice in a sample of water would be Procedure 4. This procedure involves determining the temperature and mass of the water and recording the time for the ice to melt, which directly relates to how the kinetic energy is transferred between the ice and the water as the ice absorbs heat (energy) from the water.
So the correct answer is:
4
