We know first law of thermodynamics heat always flow form high to low temperature
so in this case ice cube has temperature below 0 c and room temperature maybe up to 22c or 24.So in this case heat will flow to the ice cube and melt it down.
Because the warmness (Gas) in the air is loosening the particles in the Solid (Ice). Gas Particles are tiny dots that fly everywhere very fast, however solid particles are stuck very very very tightly and not at all move. The Warm Gas 'loosens' the solid particles, so they start to move gradually, therefore the solid turns into a liquid.
The reason that ice melts slowly at room temperature is because it isn't boiling hot when the temperature is room temperature but it is not cold enough for the ice to stay frozen so because of that it does melt but slowly.
Hope this helps:)

Because room temperature (about 65 degrees F or so) is higher than water's freezing point, 32 degrees F.
The question here is vague, yes ice melts at room temperature which is why it is made/stored in the freezer
Ice melts at temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius. Room temperature is approximately 25 degrees Celsius. Therefore, ice will melt in a glass at room temperature.
Ice melts at any temperature over 0 oC.
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
To melt ice
I think about 2 and a half hours or so.
Baking soda is a type of salt so it will melt ice like salt. It will lower the freezing point of water and the ice will melt
ice melt in the room temperature
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.
It all depends on how much ice and where it is. Ice will melt quicker in water at room temperature than in the air and a large block of ice will take longer to melt than an ice cube
it would depend on the temperature of the room. at 21*c it would melt in 15minutes
Ice cream at room temperature melts.
At room temperature an ice cube...is rapidly melt. It is impossible for the ice to have the room temperature (ca. 20 0C) at normal pressure.
Ice because when you leave it out it quickly melts
Because water is warmer than 32 degrees and ice is colder. Setting the glass at room temperature causes the ice to melt.
It depends on the room temperature. If the room temperature is 70 degrees then it will probably melt in 6 or 7 minutes.
It takes 3 minutes for a cubic foot of ice to melt if you have a tempertured controled room because if its to hot or to cold the ice will either take faster to melt or slower so 3 minutes is the average time for a cubic foot of ice to melt.
If the coffee is hot, it'll melt the ice quickly. If it's room temperature, the ice will still melt. Ice will melt in any situation where its surroundings are at a warmer temperature than itself.
The variable would be room temperatures
