I would expect the mechanism inside to get damaged - it might rust.

Why is the puddle under an ice cube as cold as the ice cube?

The puddle under an ice cube is as cold as the ice cube because the ice cube is melting and releasing its cold temperature into the water, keeping the surrounding water at a low temperature. Heat transfer occurs from the ice cube to the water until thermal equilibrium is reached, resulting in a cold puddle.


What happens to an ice cube when it is placed in water?

When an ice cube is placed in water, it will begin to melt and eventually turn into liquid water. This process occurs because the temperature of the water is higher than the temperature of the ice cube, causing the ice to absorb heat energy from the water and melt.


What happens when a ice cube when it had disappeared?

When an ice cube disappears, it is melting into water as it absorbs heat energy from its surroundings. The molecules of the ice cube gain enough energy to break apart from their solid state and become liquid water.


What happens to the particles that make up an ice cube when melted?

When an ice cube melts, the particles that make up the ice cube (water molecules) gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a solid structure. This causes the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules to break, allowing them to move more freely and take on a liquid form.


What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.
