The newspaper insulates the ice from heat.
because paper is a very good insulator
Ice melts because it absorbs heat from its surrounding. Wrapping ice around in a newspaper cuts down this heat loss to the surrounding. As a result, ice melts at a slower rate when wrapped in a newspaper than it would if left unwrapped.
Nothing like that, it depends on the external temperature
Wrapping ice cubes in newspapers helps slow down the melting process by insulating them from external heat sources. The paper acts as a barrier, reducing the transfer of heat from the surroundings to the ice cubes, thereby keeping them colder for longer.
ice will melt faster wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap when you put it outside
Cellulose ( wood fibres as in newspaper ) is an insulator. The more layers of paper, the more effective the insulation. Similarly, fish and chip stores of yesteryear used several newspaper pages to bundle up a takeout order of fish and chips, in order to keep them hot until you got home. Today, restaurants use styro-type packaging for the same reason.
if kept in the sun the ice melts
An ice cube wrapped in black cloth would probably melt first because the black cloth would be more conducive to absorbing heat from the surroundings while the aluminum foil would be more prone to reflecting it.
Because styrofoam is an excellent thermal insulator.
because it just does ok!
yes
it will become water If you melt an ice cube it will melt
no, but ice melt is a salt
