Which does ice melt slower plastic or wood?

Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, wood is a better thermal insulator than plastic. Short answer: wood.


If ice is place on wood how long will it take to melt?

It would take longer because wood is an insulator, but it all depends on how much energy is absorbed by it's surroundings. If it's warm out, more energy can be used to melt the ice, if it is colder, then vice versa. If it is below freezing outside, then obviously it won't melt.

Will wood keep ice cold?

Wood has characteristics of an insulator. Every material, such as glass, steel, rubber or cotton, will either have characteristics that either allows it to transfer Heat or to restrict heat. This is its heat transfer characteristic. Every material will transfer Heat in various rates. So if you place ICE in a box made of ice, it will melt slower than if the ice is left out by itself. The wood slows the outside heat from getting to the ice and causing it to melt.
