A cooler filled with ice typically maintains a temperature around 32°F (0°C), which is the freezing point of water. However, the actual temperature can vary depending on the amount of ice, the insulation of the cooler, and external conditions. If the ice melts, the temperature inside the cooler will rise above 32°F but will generally remain below 50°F (10°C) for a period of time, depending on these factors.
Putting salt on ice in a cooler lowers the freezing point of water through a process called freezing point depression, allowing the ice to stay colder for longer. This helps to keep food and drinks cooler for a longer period of time and improve the overall efficiency of the cooler.
"Ice water" could either refer to water that has been chilled to the freezing temperature or just a container of water with ice floating in that is close to (but still above) that freezing temperature. Ice can be no warmer than the freezing point but can certainly be colder. If the solid (ice) is in equilibrium with the liquid ("ice water"), the ice will NOT be cooler, but as noted, if they are not really in equilibrium, you would expect the solid (ice) to be colder than the liquid water rather than the other way around.
No, not all coolers are suitable for dry ice. It is recommended to use a heavy-duty cooler made of materials like plastic or metal that can withstand the extremely low temperature of dry ice without cracking or breaking. Additionally, make sure the cooler has a good seal to prevent the gas buildup that can occur with dry ice.
You should remove the melted ice water in order to keep the cooler colder. As the ice melts, the water will start to warm up and reduce the overall effectiveness of keeping things cold. Drain the water periodically and add more ice as needed to maintain the temperature inside the cooler.
Before the ice melts, the temperature of the mixture typically remains relatively stable, often hovering around 0°C (32°F), as the ice absorbs heat from the surrounding liquid without a significant increase in temperature. Once the ice completely melts, the temperature of the mixture may begin to rise, depending on the initial temperature of the liquid and the amount of ice added. After the ice has melted, the temperature will adjust based on the heat exchange until it reaches a new equilibrium. Overall, the melting process helps maintain a cooler temperature until the ice is gone.
Meat will stay frozen in a cooler without ice for about 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature and insulation of the cooler.
Assuming a cooler with some quantity of ice less than the total volume of the cooler. Add water, wait a few minutes for heat exchange to stabilize temperature of ice water solution. The pop cans you place in cooler will warm to or cool to and, as long as both ice and water remain in solution, will remain at 32 deg f. So adding water to a cooler of ice and soda will stabilize your soda temperature at 32 deg f. and it probably won't freeze.

No, but it can be the same temperature if the water is spinning fast to keep it from freezing
The temperature will be the same.
The length of time food stays cold in a cooler with ice can vary depending on factors like the amount of ice, cooler insulation, and outside temperature. Generally, food can stay cold for about 24-48 hours in a well-insulated cooler with enough ice.
Food will stay cold in a cooler without ice for about 2-4 hours, depending on factors like the outside temperature and how well the cooler is insulated.
stu the air certainly cooler than regular ice, because ice was contained within the building (an enclosed space) so that the air becomes cooler
Meat can stay frozen in a cooler for up to 24-48 hours, depending on the quality of the cooler and the surrounding temperature. It is important to keep the cooler well-insulated and to replenish the ice regularly to maintain the frozen temperature.

Melting ice stays at the same temperature until it is all melted to water.
Ice is used as a refrigerant in coolers because it can absorb heat from the items inside the cooler, keeping them cold. As the ice melts, it undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid, which requires energy in the form of heat. This process helps to maintain a low temperature inside the cooler.
