What is a melting ice cube's kinetic energy?
Erm, it depends how fast it is moving! Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. If the ice cube is stationary, then it has no kinetic energy.
Is there energy in an ice cube?
yes... if it is just sitting there, it has potential energy..... if it is falling into a glass, it has kinetic energy
Does a ice cube have kinetic energy?
no it does not a rollor coaster has it because it goes up on track and ice cube doesnt move unless YOU move it so the answer is no
Which form of energy causes an ice cube to melt?
whatever's around it, assuming it's in surroundings warmer than 0 Celsius. Everything has heat energy, unless it's at 0 degree kelvin (-273 Celsius), so the warmer surroundings transfer some of this warmth to the colder ice
Can you keep a ice cube from melting?
you can put sawdust on the ice cube

An ice cube melts when mechanical energy increases?
An ice cube will melt when it is above the freezing point of water. At this point the individual molecules have enough energy to vibrate more causing the ice cube to melt.
True or false An ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases?
It is false that an ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases.
How do you perform energy transfers?
A simple way to illustrate energy transfer is to put an ice cube in a glass of water. The heat energy from the water will transfer to the ice cube until thermal equilibrium.
Why is energy absorbed when ice melts?
When an ice cube gains energy, it is the same as gaining heat. So if an ice cube is getting warmer, it melts.
When an ice cube melts does its mechanical energy increase?
yes
Why would an ice cube with material it round melt quicker than a ice cube with nothing round it?
The ice cube in contact with other materials has somewhere to pass it's energy to. The ice cube in isolation retains it's heat as the heat has nowhere to disperse to.
Why does ice melt in your hand and make your hand cold?
your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.

What happens when an ice cube is heated?
It will melt! But you have to add enough energy to equal the latent heat as well as to bring the ice up to the freezing point, if it is in a freezer to start it will be at about -21degC.
What happens if enough heat energy is given tot he ice cube?
it melts
