What are insulators for ice cubes?
Not sure what you are asking here exactly, but Ice makers in the centuries before refrigeration often used sawdust to insulate ice blocks in the ice houses, to slow the rate of melting. And to prevent the blocks from sticking together.
How does the presence of air effect the rate at which a body falls?
It decreases the rate of increase of the velocity of the body.
What is the difference of poor conductors and insulators of electricity?
Current is the rate of flow of charges. More free electron means more current in conductor.Conductor means element that allows electrons to follow through them easily. Insulator means element that does not allow electrons to flow at all. Conductor like copper atom; has free electrons that flow easily within the conductor. On the othe hand insulators like rubber; does not have any free elctrons. That's why insulators are poor conductor of electricity.
Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?
No, horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are independent and have no effect on each other.
Why don't different objects heat at the same rate?
Different objects may have different temperatures
What is the melting rate of ice in different substances?
100 degree celcius
Will different temperatures change the melting rate of an ice cube?
yes
Why is ice wrapped in sawdust or in woolen blanket?
Sawdust and cloth are non-metals and thus insulators of heat. They slow down the melting process of the blocks of ice so it gets to where its supposed to be without becoming a messy puddle of water.
Does salt effect the ability of ice's melting rate?
Yes, and this depends on the chemical and physical nature of the salt and also on the concentration.
How does alcohol have a different effect on different age groups?
the amount and rate of consumption?
How different types of music effect heart rate?
rock
Will the color of a slushie effect how fast-slow it will melt?
The color may effect how fast-slow it will melt because the may have different ingredients then the others. Also, darker colors attract more light and light = heat. So if the slushies are not in the dark, the color will affect their rate of melting.

What happens when a glaciers rate of melting is greater than its rate of movement?
An ice front recedes when a glaciers rate of melting is greater than its rate of movement. It is the end of the glacier.
Is there an effect on an earthworm's heart rate if it is in a different environmental temperature?
yes...the higher the temperature the faster the heart rate is.
How do oil and gas have any effect on Antarctica?
Because the production of oil and gas contribute to global warming, the ice in Antarctica is melting at a faster than natural rate.
Volume of water and evaporation rate?
Volume has no effect on evaporation rates. It is surface area that provides a time dependent variation.
