When you cover ice with a black cloth, the dark color absorbs more sunlight and heat compared to lighter colors. This can cause the ice to melt faster due to the increased temperature caused by the absorbed heat. Additionally, the cloth may insulate the ice somewhat, but the primary effect is the enhanced melting rate due to the absorption of light.

Which will melt first ice cube wrapped in black cloth or aluminium foil?

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.


Why red cloth is used to cover the ice cream container?

Red cloth is often used to cover ice cream containers to signify that the contents are cold and to prevent the ice cream from melting too quickly. The color red can also attract attention and create a festive or appealing presentation. Additionally, using a cloth can help to insulate the container, maintaining the temperature of the ice cream for a longer period.

What happens to the ice in the clothes?

When you take an ice out of the freezer, it slowly melts. But some of it re freeze by the ice itself. So the small amount of water in the cloth which is re frozen by the ice when the cloth and ice make contact produces the sticking effect.

Why does the ice that is just taken out from the freezer sticks cloth?

why freezer paper won't stick to fabric ? Every manufcture has a different quallity in the product and the compossition of plastic. As the information I had, they use wax mixture for plastic polyethylene to cover the paper, which make it will not get stick to fabric either to the paper it self when heat it,and freezer paper is not suitable to use for wraping hot food which some times people do it for faster wraping . the second, thermoplastic wax mixture has lower degree coefficient of melting to compare with the fabric and paper.


What experiments can you do to compare the ability of dark and light coloured objects to radiate heat?

Easy! Get a block of ice. Lay on this ice block a strip of dark cloth and almost next to it a similar strip of light cloth - would suggest one black and other white. Place in sunlight and watch. Dark cloth will melt ice quicker than light cloth. This shows dark material will normally absorb more thermal energy than light material. Note that the 2 pieces of cloth should be similar in size. If you use a harder substance such as pieces of tile then dark tile will slowly melt into ice block. When you have finished use any left-over ice to make cold drink.
