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.
What is the surface area of 5 cubes?
that depends on how big the ice cubes are, advice: pay attention in class!
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
What solids have curved surfaces?
depends i meen ice can have a curved surface
How does the Ice O Matic work?
The Ice-O-Matic is a commercial ice making machine. It works by keeping water in a separated tray in a cold unit. It leaves them there for a set period of time while they freeze, then dropping them into the area to be used.
