When an ice cube sits out on a warm day and melts where does the heat go?

There isn't any heat, there is only LACK of heat.
The sun warms the lack of heat (ice) until it's just as warm as everything around it.

Does the shae of an ice cube affect how it melts?
If there is more surface area exposed to warm air it will melt fasterthan if there is little surface area exposed to warm air. heat transfer
What properties of an ice cube will change when it melts?
If you put a ice cube in a pan in a warm room the two physical properties that will change would be shape. Another property would be density.
Why must heat be supplied to melt ice after all the temperature does not change?
The temperature must heighten for ice to melt. The melting point of ice/water is about 0 degrees Celsius. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suppose we are at 1 atmosphere and we want to melt an ice cube (of pure water) that is at -5oC. We give heat to the ice cube (hypothetically at very slow rate so we warm the ice cube in a homogeneous fashion). The temperature of the ice cube will rise to 00C before it starts to melt. During the melting process the heat given to the ice is invested in braking the intermolecular bonds. This is called the latent heat of fusion or fusion enthalpy. Not until the ice completely melts, the temperature will start going up again.
Why does a drink get colder with ice?
The water has more heat than ice ... the water looses the heat to the ice the ice melts to become water .. but not warm water .. cold water that also looses heat to the warm water till equilibrium is reached and a final cool temperature is maintained .. but then the air around the water adds heat to the cold water till they all reach equilibrium and the water is warm again ..
Why does ice cube melts faster on a cold plate than on a warm plate?
The rate at which an ice cube melts depends on how quickly heat is transferred to it from the surroundings. I wouldn't expect much difference between the two situations, but if there is one I'd expect the one in the cup to melt more slowly. That's because the air around the cubes will get cold and the shape of the cup might trap the cold air, leaving the ice in a colder place than the room, whereas the air around the plate will be constantly moving. All this depends on the exact size and shape of the cup.
Does the shae of an ice cube affect how it melts?
If there is more surface area exposed to warm air it will melt fasterthan if there is little surface area exposed to warm air. heat transfer
Why does an ice cube melt in a warm glass of water?
It Melt Bcuz The water is Warm So it Melts The Ice && Then The Coldness Make the Warm Water Cold
How does a ice cube melt when left out of the freezer?
The hot atmosphere
How does the process of brooding keep a bird's eggs warm?
The bird sits on the eggs and by using heat to keep them warm until they hatch
When someone sits in front of a fire to get warm what process is being used?
Heat transfer by radiation.

Do shapes of ice cubes affect its melting?
Possibly. The amount of surface area the ice cube has could influence how fast it gets warm, and then how fast it melts.
Why will heat not flow from an ice cube to a hot drink?
Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another. Heat always moves from warm objects to cool objects, not cool objects to warm objects.
What happens to the thermal energy if you drop an ice cube in a warm drink and it melts?
As water and ice have different temperatures, if we add them together then there will be an exchange of heat, due to which ice starts melting and water becomes cold. The heat required to melt the molecules of ice is provided by the molecules of water and this heat is the latent heat of fusion.
Why heat must be lost before water turns to ice?
it has to be cooled because ice is cold not warm. it is impossible to make a warm ice cube
Does the eviorment effect how an ice cube melt?
Yes, the warmer the air temperature of the environment the quicker the ice cube melts. Also, ice in a warm fluid environment will melt quicker than ice at the equivalent air temperature.
What happens when you hold an ice cube in your hand?
Well the transfer of heat is called "Erected energy transfer" and is the same heat/energy that makes your penis warmer than the rest of the body when erected, hence the term "Erected energy transfer".
