Question

How does she increase the kinetic energy of the particles of the ice

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Thermal energy -- or heat -- moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. For instance, your beverage gets cold when you add ice cubes because the heat moves from the liquid to the ice cubes, and not because coldness moves from the ice cubes into your beverage. This loss of heat is what causes the temperature of your beverage to plummet.

Answer 2

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.
