A student list some possible ways to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy, using ice and a sample of water which procedure would be best to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy
1. Measure the initial kinetic energy of a moving ice cube and a sample of water before they come into contact.
2. Observe the temperature change of the water after the ice cube has come into contact with it.
3. Measure the final kinetic energy of the ice and water after they have come into contact.
4. Use a calorimeter to measure the amount of heat transferred between the ice and water during the interaction.
The best procedure to investigate the transfer of kinetic energy between the ice and water would be to measure the temperature change of the water after the ice cube has come into contact with it. This method would directly show the transfer of kinetic energy from the moving ice cube to the sample of water.
