Its a rather broad question of thermodynamics.

To determine this you would have to determine the specific heat of iceburg to meet the desired criteria (33 degrees). As well as the amount of joules of energy applied to the iceberg and the ambient temperature surrounding the iceberg.

I hope this answer was as broad as the question.

How many gallons of water does it take to fill a ice rink?

No information on depth. No information on flow rate. So no answer.


If a force is required to pull a 20 kg box across a carpeted floor what is typically true about another force required to pull the box across the ice at a rink?

Pulling a box across ice requires less force than pushing the same box across carpet. This is due to the amount of friction between the carpet and box and the lack of friction between the ice and the box.


When is low friction not useful?

In many ways! For example it allows you to walk, if it wasn't for friction, trying to walk anywhere would be like trying to walk across an ice rink but worse, it would be impossible! It is also useful when driving a car, when trying to stop. It helps us to write, to drive nails and screws into materials,to sharpen tools etc..


How does friction affect moving objects?

Friction affects the acceleration of an object by resisting the movement between the two surfaces which are in contact. For example: Take a piece of ice and slide it across your counter, now take a eraser and do the same thing. Which one went faster and further? The reason is because the eraser has more friction against the counter, which makes the eraser not slide as smoothly as the ice did. This rubbing together of the objects can also creates kinetic energies like static electricity and heat. Think about the last time you had rubbed your hands together for warmth when you are cold. Congratulations, you are using friction to create heat with your hands! How about you rubbing your wool socks on a rug and shocking somebody? Once again, you just used friction by rubbing your wool socks on a rug. Without friction, nothing would stop moving. Brakes would not work, nothing would stay on objects, you would not be able to write, you would not even be able to walk without sliding all over the place. Everything would be like it was in an ice rink. Friction is a valuable thing and helps out a lot in our everyday lives.


What would happen on a day with no friction for kids?

A day without friction would be like a day in space... but with gravity. One might fall out of bed... or more likely the covers would just slide off, but one's weight would create a valley in bed that would be very difficult to get out of, because if one moved, one would just roll. Perhaps one could use the hill/valley gradients on the bed to move enough to get out of bed. If one managed to get out of bed, then one would likely fall flat on the floor. Without friction, it would be very difficult to stand or balance... like on a skating rink, but worse. And, you couldn't grab onto anything either. One would have to depend on pushing off of solid surfaces... but not something freestanding or say the bed might go flying across the room. Skating into the bathroom would be challenging, and one would have to push off of things to change direction. One should probably plan on sliding down the stairs. You might be able to cradle a bowl in your hands to carry it. Holding the spoon would be more of a challenge. A cylindrical glass would be difficult to hold onto because it would just slide out of one's hand. And, certainly wouldn't stay put on the table. A "footed glass" might give an area that one could grip. Better leave the car at home... it would be essentially useless with no traction, and very dangerous without brakes. Walking to school would be like skating... except on a super-slick surface. Hopefully the trip is downhill or level, as the uphills, even slight inclinations would be very challenging. One would certainly expect chairs to be sliding everywhere... kids falling out of chairs, and books and pencils sliding off of surfaces and falling to the floor... then sliding around the room like a pin-ball machine. One could tie stuff down, but even many clasps require friction. Although a belt buckle uses pressure and a mechanical lever. Weight could certainly be used to one's advantage too. Anyway, the day would continue to be chaotic. Everything important would have to be secured down with some mechanical method, and one would be re-learning how to do do seemingly ordinary tasks like walking.
