No, when an ice cube melts, the atoms move closer together so it seems like a smaller amount. However, it does not lose mass, the number of atoms are still the same.

True or false An ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases?

It is false that an ice cube melts when it's mechanical energy increases.


Would all of the energy lost by hot water be transferred to an ice cube?

In a perfectly-insulated container, with a perfectly-insultated cover, all the energy of the hot water is distributed between the hot water and the ice cube. As the ice cube melts, this statement is still true, but the ice's latent heat of fusion may draw the hot water down to near freezing point, even if its mass is small compared to the mass of hot water.

Hot water melts an ice cube faster then cold water?

this is true and people a long time ago has already proved it. you might want to try it out yourself it is a fun experiment to see the ice fade into nothing!


Does mass must be lost to produce energy?

Energy isn't "destroyed" and mass isn't "created" Basically mass is a "form" of energy. Much like ice is a "form" of water. So while one could, kinda, say "ice is destroyed when it melts into water" it isn't exactly true (even though it is no longer ice).
