Does different coloured surfaces affect the rate at which ice cubes melt?
This is a really good question and the answer is quite straight-forward:First it's important to note that in absolute dark different colours would have no effect on the rate of melting, the rate is dependent on the wavelengths and intensity of the light the surface is exposed to.If we assume we have two surfaces, one red and one black, and we expose both surfaces to red light of the same intensity. On which surface do you think the ice would melt faster?The red surface will reflect the red light, however the black surface will absorb the red lightcausing the black surface to increase in temperature. So the ice will melt faster on the black surface.
What color melts the fastest why?
In various experiments, the red popsicle will melt the fastest. However, it depends on the ingredients and the brand of popsicle.
Can paper cup melt by acetone?
no.
Which ice cube will melt fastest in the shade or in the sun?
Does ice melt faster in sun or shade
What temperature does ice melt fastest?
Cold water will not melt the ice cube in record time, but hot water will, but salt water will also melt it fast, but if you add both together the ice cube will melt alot fast. Deceasing time alot.
If pieces of black paper and white paper are laid on snow in sunshine what is likely to happen?
The snow under the black paper will melt faster as the paper absorbs the heat while the white paper reflects it.
Does black melt faster than white?
Not specifically. Something black, however, will absorb radiant energy faster than something white, so that would make it seem that black (materials) melt faster than white (materials).
Would snow melt faster from a white lamb or a black lamb?
black
Does ice melt faster on black?
Mexican
Will ice cream melt faster in paper cup?
No paper has magical freezing properties!
In which cup does ice melt faster a plactic stirophone or paper and why?
it melts faster in the plastic cup
Does ice melt faster with black or white paper?
it melts faster on a metal surface.Ice absorbs heat from metal faster than it absorbs it from wood. Wood is an insulator. It slows down the transfer of heat to the ice. Metal is a conductor. It absorbs heat readily, and passes it on quickly.
Does a black candle burn faster than a colored candle?
Yes, because black is the darkest color, so, it will melt faster.
Does white cheese melt faster than yellow cheese?
No, about the same
Which chocolate bar melts faster in the sun crunch or Hersheys?
the milk and white would melt faster because the dark is hard

Why does the ice cube in water melt faster then ice cube on paper towel?
If it is in water it will start to become the same temprature as the water. But if it is on paper towel the air aroud itwill melt the ice cube.
