I'm going to assume that by 'kind of water' you mean between fresh water and saltwater (average ocean water).

Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C), and saltwater freezes at 28 degrees F (-2 degrees C).

Therefore, based upon these numbers, if 2 equal sized samples of salt and fresh water were kept frozen in a container at 20 degrees F, and the temperature of each was suddenly increased to room temperature, the salt water would begin to melt sooner, and therefore, slightly faster.

Will water overflow when the ice in the cup completely filled with water melts completely?

If you are asking if a cup filled with water and ice, when the ice melts, will the water overflow, then the answer is no. As the ice becomes water, then it loses its ability to displace the water that it was first displacing as it was ice. So in the end, the water level won't raise or fall as the ice melts, it just replaces the space it once filled with water, leaving you with a full cup of water.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


Which of these would allow sound to travel fastest air wood or water?

Sound travels fastest in solids, so it would travel fastest in wood compared to air and water.


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


Is it true or false that frozen water melts?

True. Frozen water, or ice, melts when it is exposed to temperatures above its freezing point (0°C or 32°F). This causes its molecular structure to break down, transitioning it back into a liquid state known as water.
