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.

Does the salt melt ice faster if it can lower the freezing point more?
When you add a salt to ice , the salt lowers the freezing point of the water, keeping it from refreezing as easily and helping to melt the ice. In other word, the salt itself cannot melt ice. So if the Environment temperature is lower than the freezing point, the ice will not melt faster. But , if the temperature is higher than the freezing point, the salt will surely make the melting process faster .
Which salt melts ice the fastest table salt or sea salt?
In extreme winters, it becomes important to deal with the snow on roads and everywhere. Salt and sand can be both helpful. Brick sand is the best option, it absorb the sunlight and helps the ice to melt quicker.
Why does salt melt ice faster than sugar or sand?
Salt. Salt dissolves in water, and causes the freezing point to fall; this causes the ice to melt. Sugar does not have this effect, and chalk doesn't dissolve in water.
Do ice cubes melt faster when salt is added?
yes they do melt faster like you know in the winter how you put salt out in the snow and it melts the snow,well that proves it
How does the temperature affect ice melting with salt and sugar?
The salt will cause the ice to melt faster. the sugar shouldn't have much of a difference.
What melt ice faster with salt or sand?
Salt
What melt ice faster sand or clay?
Sand melts ice faster because it has salt and the salt makes it melt alot faster than clay.
What would melt ice faster salt or sand?
Salt
Does ice melt faster in sand or salt?
salt. its tasteyer
Why does sand melt ice faster than salt?
salt reduces the tempature at which ice freezes
Why do sand take longer to melt ice then salt?
The reason why it takes sand to melt ice longer than salt does, is because salt draws or absorbs the moisture in the ice faster than sand that just has a rough texture. Yes, there is salt particles in sand but not as much as normal salt by itself.
What makes ice melt the fastest sugar salt pepper or sand?
SALT DOESNT MELT THE ICE IT JUST LOWERS THE FREEZING POINTWell Salt Does Make Ice Melt Faster :) I made the project and my result were correct SALT melts ice faster :)
What is the hypothesis of this question what makes ice melt the fastest sand salt sugar or pepper?
You need to determine what you think will melt the fastest, and that will be your hypothesis. If you think that pepper will melt it faster, you would say "My hypothesis is that the pepper will melt ice faster than the other variables (sand, salt, and sugar)."

What makes ice melt faster table salt sugar sand or pepper?
Salt - maximum change in melting point.
