Why does an ice cube melt when compressed even though the temperature remains the same?

When force is applied to an object and the object is unable to compress as a whole, the energy is then transfered to the atoms causing them to vibrate. Vibration of atoms is directly connected to temperature as temperature is really the measure of movement of the atoms. The more the atoms vibrate the higher the temperature. This increase in temperature causes the ice to melt.

Why will an ice cube melt if it is compressed even though the temperature remains the same?
ice (frozen water) is a tricky material. It melts at 0 degrees C under normal conditions, but if you exceed a pressure of 100 times atmospheric pressure its melting point lowers a few degrees, causing it to melt faster even though temperature is unchanged.
How does temperature affect an ice cube?
The hotter the temperature, the faster the ice cube will melt. The colder the temperature, the better an ice cube will stay in solid form.
How many seconds does it take for an ice cube melt?
It depends on the temperature and the size of the ice cube.
What factors can affect the time it takes for an ice cube to melt?
I think these are the factors: - temperature - sun ray - the surface which the ice cube is placed on and maybe - the size of the ice cube
How long does it take for and ice cube to melt at room temperature?
It depends on the size of the ice cube and amount of table salt.

How the sugar crystals are in cube shape?
they are compressed together in a vacume sealed
How does temperature affect an ice cube?
The hotter the temperature, the faster the ice cube will melt. The colder the temperature, the better an ice cube will stay in solid form.
If the length of the sides of a cube is decreased is the surface area decreased?
Yes, if it remains a cube.
How does an ice cube melt in water?
The water raises the temperature of the ice cube
Time required for ice cube to melt in ordinary water?
This depends on the size and temperature of the ice cube and the ordinary water's temperature and volume.
How long does it take a ice cube to melt in water?
That depends on (a) the size of the ice-cube, (b) the temperature of the water, and (c) the surrounding temperature.
How many seconds does it take for an ice cube melt?
It depends on the temperature and the size of the ice cube.
What is the temperature of a ice cube when it is mealting?
as you might be knowing that freezing and melting point of ice(water) is same the only difference is that when water freezes it gives out its heat whereas while melting it absorbs the heat . so when the ice is melting its temperature remains zero degree .
What is the temperature of an ice cube?
33 degrees Celsius
How long does an ice cube take to melt?
It depends on the size the temperature difference between the cube and surroundings
