How can the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt help the world?
people want their ice cubes to last longer, so if you make ice cubes in a different shape so they melt slower, people will be happier.
What is the better estimate for ice cream o degrees C or 0 degrees F?
Well, most likely 0F. 0C is the freezing point of water, which is 32F. This means if ice cream was at 0C it would only barely be frozen, and melt very fast. However, ice cream is usually frozen very well, and takes a long time to melt. When it does melt it's only the outside surface, not the entire thing at one time. This means the ice cream is at least a little below the freezing point.
Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?
Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio
Would Ice cubes with the same volume but different surface areas melt at the same soeed?
No, the greater the surface area the faster the ice cube will melt.
Does vinegar melt ice in 2 seconds?
Under normal conditions vinegar is a liquid and so does not need to melt.
How long does it take for ice to melt in air and water?
The answer depends on the temperature of the water.
