Explanation:

It is known that transfer of energy always occur from hot substance to cool substance.

Therefore, when frozen peas are added to heated water then potential energy of peas will start to convert into kinetic energy as transfer of energy will take place from water to peas.

This is because water molecules will collide with molecules of peas. Hence, peas will also gain energy.
