B. The transfer of energy from an object in motion to another object
C. The transfer of energy from an object to its surroundings
D. The transfer of energy from an object's potential energy to its kinetic energy
Answer: B. The transfer of energy from an object in motion to another object
Use the table to answer the question.
Student Name Potential Energy Rating (lowest to highest)
Henry gas, liquid, solid
Jasmine gas, solid, liquid
Lucas solid, gas, liquid
Tasha solid, liquid, gas
Four students rank the potential energies of some states of matter. Which student is correct?

A student adds ice to several samples of water. The results are shown in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn from the results?
(1 point)
Responses
As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.
As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.
As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.
As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.
As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
