Answer:

The molecules begin to speed up.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:Heat is kinetic energy the higher the temperature of a substance, the faster and farther its molecules move. For example, as heat transfers into the ice, the ice molecules move faster and eventually the ice melts When those molecules slow down, their kinetic energy decreases

Hope this helps! :)
