Its a rather broad question of thermodynamics.

To determine this you would have to determine the specific heat of iceburg to meet the desired criteria (33 degrees). As well as the amount of joules of energy applied to the iceberg and the ambient temperature surrounding the iceberg.

I hope this answer was as broad as the question.

A hockey puck slides across an ice rink more easily than it does across a rough concrete surface. Why is this?

The smooth surface of the ice rink offers less resistance to the puck compared to the rough concrete surface. The reduced friction allows the puck to slide more easily and travel further on the ice rink. On the other hand, the uneven texture of the concrete surface creates more friction, making it harder for the puck to slide smoothly.


How many gallons of water does it take to fill a ice rink?

A standard NHL ice rink holds about 10,600 gallons of water. The exact amount can vary depending on the size and depth of the rink, but a typical ice rink will require thousands of gallons to fill.


What are 2 examples of situations where friction is reduced?

Lubricating moving parts of machinery, such as oiling a bike chain, reduces friction and allows for smoother operation. Ice skating on a smooth ice rink involves minimal friction between the skates and the ice, enabling skaters to glide with ease.


If a force is required to pull a 20 kg box across a carpeted floor what is typically true about another force required to pull the box across the ice at a rink?

Pulling a box across ice requires less force than pushing the same box across carpet. This is due to the amount of friction between the carpet and box and the lack of friction between the ice and the box.


Can you think of another similar case in which friction might work the same away?

A similar case is the friction between two ice skates and an ice rink. When ice skates glide over the ice, friction between the blades and the ice surface allows the skater to move forward. Just like in the case of a tire on a road, the friction generated between the ice skates and ice helps provide the necessary traction for the skater to maintain balance and control their movement.
