Will the shape of an ice cube affect the rate at which it melts?

A cube can only have one shape "cubic" - (someone has asked you a trick question).
However, certainly the rate at which a piece of solid ice melts IS affect by its shape, the greater the surface area of the piece of ice, the faster it will melt.

Does color affect the rate at which an ice cube melts?
No, not at all- the rate of melt of an ice-cube is entirely down to temeprature.
What is the third procedure for does color affect the rate in which an ice cube melts?
I think it might have to do with ambient heat.
Does color effect which an ice cube melts?
The rate in which an ice cube melts is dependent on the temperature of the outside air. The hotter it is the faster ice will melt. The color of a cup or dish will not affect the melting process.
Dose the shape of an ice cube affect how fast it melts?
yes it does. the more surface tension the cube has, the faster it will melt b/c the more surface tension it has, the more its exposed to its environment or something like that. but the shape of the ice cube does affect the melting time.the answer above is true. the more surface area the shape of the ice cube has makes it melt faster. take a cube ice cube for instance. it has 6 sides so it would have more surface area then per say a sphere, which has no flat surface.
What happens to an ice cube when heated?
it melts at a very fast rate
Does color effect the rate at which an ice cube melts?
Black absorbs heat and white reflects it. (other colors will fall somewhere in that range) Therefore, it would make sense that color would effect the rate at which an ice cube melts.
Does global warming affect the survival rate of polar bears?
Global Warming does affect the survival rate of Polar Bears because Global Warming Melts the ice.
Does the shape of the container affect the rate of water?
YesYes
What the materials you need for the question does color affect rate in which ice cubes melts?
No...? why would color affect ice. Color is a physical property.
How shape affect the rate of diffusion?
diffusion, its annoying :) m.kk
Why does the shape of a container affect the freezing rate of water?
yes
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.
