Why ice at 0degree Celsius is more affective than water at 0 degree Celsius?
because the ice will first absorb heat while transitioning from 0 deg ice into 0 deg water, and then absorb some more while this 0 deg water then reaches temperature equilibrium with the liquid in the drink. If you only use water you'll only get that last equilibrium heat absorbtion.
Does sand or salt melt ice faster?
Because if there is no wind, the ice takes away heat, even through cold wind it is still heat, and in no wind the same air stays around the ice, getting colder around it which builds a barrier of air around the ice making it harder for the heat to travel through, so it takes longer. But when there is wind there is a constant movement of new, in comparison to the ice, warm air to make it easier for the heat to get to the ice only having to travel with the air, instead of having to get transferred through all the air to get to the ice. There is also the fact of friction, as the wind is blowing by the ice, it is causing friction who both heats up the ice a tiny bit, but also wears away little tiny bits of ice into the air giving them a greater surface area to volume ratio which allows them to absorb heat faster.
