An ice cube is dropped into a glass of milk at 20°C. Which statement explains the transfer of kinetic energy (KE) ?

A) Because milk has higher KE than ice, KE is transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice.

B) Because milk has higher KE than ice, KE is transferred from the molecules of ice to the milk.

C) Because ice has higher KE than milk, KE is transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice.

D) Because ice has higher KE than milk, KE is transferred from the molecules of ice to the milk.

    I think the correct answer is A. Since milk has a higher KE than the ice cubes, KE is being transferred from the milk to the molecules of ice which increases the kinetic energy of the molecules of ice. Consequently, it raises the temperature of the ice while lowering the temperature of the milk until they reach equilibrium at a final temperature.
