Two identical pieces of ice, each placed on identically sized and shaped blocks of plastic and wood at the same temperature, will melt at a rate proportional to the thermal conductivity and the thermal mass of the object they are on. Generally, plastic is a better thermal conductor than wood. Short answer: wood.
Rate of melting depends on the rate at which the substance absorbs energy from the surroundings. The biggest factor determining the rate of melting is the ambient temperature. In theory heat could travel faster into the ice through the metal than through ceramic, but whether the difference would be appreciable would depend on other factors such as the area of ice in contact with the solid compared to that in contact with air.
Objects of different colors will absorb and reflect sunlight differently, which can affect how quickly they heat up. However, the color of an object does not directly impact how fast it will melt. Factors such as material composition, thickness, and temperature play a more significant role in determining melting rates.
Ice will melt faster than candy because ice has a lower melting point than most candies. The higher the melting point, the longer it takes for a substance to melt.
White candles typically melt faster than colored candles because they are made from a purer wax, such as paraffin or soy wax, which has a lower melting point. Colored candles often contain additional dyes and additives that can raise the melting point and slow down the burning process.
The ice cube wrapped in aluminum foil will melt first. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat, meaning it will transfer heat away from the ice cube more effectively than black cloth, causing the ice to melt faster.
Salt water will melt an ice cube faster than flour water. This is because salt lowers the freezing point of water, causing the ice to melt more quickly. Flour water does not lower the freezing point significantly, so it will melt ice at a slower rate.
The black paper will absorb more sunlight and heat up, causing the snow underneath to melt faster than the white paper. This will create a contrast where the snow under the black paper melts more quickly than under the white paper, showcasing the different heat absorption properties of the two colors.
black absorbs heat, giving it more heat to melt the ice
black
The black paper would absorb more sunlight and heat up faster, causing the snow beneath it to melt faster in that spot. The white paper would reflect more sunlight, resulting in slower melting compared to the surrounding snow.

Objects of different colors will absorb and reflect sunlight differently, which can affect how quickly they heat up. However, the color of an object does not directly impact how fast it will melt. Factors such as material composition, thickness, and temperature play a more significant role in determining melting rates.
No paper has magical freezing properties!
The black paper absorbs more sunlight, causing it to heat up and melt the snow underneath. The white paper reflects more sunlight, staying cool and preventing the snow beneath it from melting as quickly. This creates a contrast where the black paper leaves a dark spot and the white paper leaves a lighter spot on the snow.
Ice will typically melt faster in a plastic or styrofoam cup compared to a paper cup. This is because plastic and styrofoam are better insulators, meaning they transfer heat more efficiently than paper. Therefore, the heat from the surroundings will more readily reach the ice in a plastic or styrofoam cup, causing it to melt faster.
Yes, because black is the darkest color, so, it will melt faster.
No, about the same
the milk and white would melt faster because the dark is hard
