No, not at all- the rate of melt of an ice-cube is entirely down to temeprature.
It does affect the time of which it melts substantially.
I think it might have to do with ambient heat.
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
Black absorbs heat and white reflects it. (other colors will fall somewhere in that range) Therefore, it would make sense that color would effect the rate at which an ice cube melts.
A cube can only have one shape "cubic" - (someone has asked you a trick question). However, certainly the rate at which a piece of solid ice melts IS affect by its shape, the greater the surface area of the piece of ice, the faster it will melt.
No...? why would color affect ice. Color is a physical property.
it melts at a very fast rate
Yes, as you may known, Black absorb heat, white repel, so therfore black ice cube will be more likely to melt faster than shiny transparant ice cubes.
Global Warming does affect the survival rate of Polar Bears because Global Warming Melts the ice.
darker colors absorb heats and thermal energy and allows the ice to melt faster.the clear ice reflects which makes it slower to melt.
no, water does not have an affect on water because the water itself is plain. (clear) having color added to it will change the color, but not the rate of the evaporation. ( GOOD LUCK!)
no
YES
