Erm, it depends how fast it is moving! Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. If the ice cube is stationary, then it has no kinetic energy.

as ice will come in contact with the substance, it will come in direct contact with its heat thus increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules . this results in melting of ice.
The ice cubes get more radiation energy when in the sun.
This exact question is from a science text book. I searched the same thing because i didn't know the answer but, i think ice cubes get there energy in an esky because the insulation in it.
the melting of ice
An ice cube melts from the outside layer in. As the outer layer of molecules gains energy it starts to vibrate and moves from solid to liquid phase, sloughing off and allowing the next layer to undergo the same process.

No. The phase change requires adding heat, so melting ice cubes is an endothermic reaction.
No, freezing is exothermic as the water loses energy to its surroundings as it freezes.
Ice cubes explode in a drink because they are melting at a fast rate. The ice cannot contract fast enough to keep up with the melting, which causes it to crack.
Yes. Salt, for example, will speed up the melting of ice cubes.
the temperature of ice cubes are lower than the temperature of the water around them. The heat energy from the water is used up in the process of melting the ice, so the water temperature drops.
At thirty-three degrees Fahrenheit ice cubes will melt in diet coke.
If Ice cubes are melting in water, the temperature of both the ice cubes and the water will be exactly the freezing temperature of water: 32F, 0C. You cannot change this. You can add heat to make the ice cubes melt faster, but the extra heat will have no effect on the temperature, It will all go to melting the ice cubes.

the thermal energy in the spoon comes in contact with the kinetic energy used to put the spoon in to the ice cream thus, melting the ice cream
