whatever's around it, assuming it's in surroundings warmer than 0 Celsius. Everything has heat energy, unless it's at 0 degree kelvin (-273 Celsius), so the warmer surroundings transfer some of this warmth to the colder ice

What causes matter to melt?
Heat energy causes matter to melt. The energy breaks bonds in the matter making looser constructions of the material.
Which type of energy causes snow to melt?
Thermal.
How long does an ice cube take to melt?
It depends on the size the temperature difference between the cube and surroundings
Can you melt people?
You as a human cannot melt from heat. The worse thing is that you might get burnt. EXP: An ice cube will melt in heat...I don't think you're an ice cube!! :)
How do you get a penny out of an ice cube?
You melt the ice cub
What form of energy causes chocolate to melt?
Heat
An ice cube melts when mechanical energy increases?
An ice cube will melt when it is above the freezing point of water. At this point the individual molecules have enough energy to vibrate more causing the ice cube to melt.

What happens if you melt an ice cube?
it will become water If you melt an ice cube it will melt
How much energy does it take to melt a 16.87 g ice cube?
636 J
Which type of energy causes snow to melt?
Thermal.
What happens when an ice cube is heated?
It will melt! But you have to add enough energy to equal the latent heat as well as to bring the ice up to the freezing point, if it is in a freezer to start it will be at about -21degC.
What causes ice cubes to melt?
Well, water can only be in it's solid form (ice) if the temperature is below the freezing point. The freezing point can vary slightly depending on the atmospheric pressure and minerals in the water, but this point is generally very close to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. When an ice cube is removed from a cold environment (like your freezer) and placed in a warmer environment (like your cup of lemonade), heat begins to transfer from the environment to the ice cube. In other words, your drink becomes cooler because as the ice cube melts it absorbs energy from the water. Heat is transferred to the ice cubes until they are at the same temperature as their surroundings. The energy required to melt an ice cube is called the latent heat of fusion. It takes a pretty good amount of energy to freeze or melt water, and this large amount of energy is the reason that ice doesn't just instantly become water once it is no longer below the freezing temperature.The short answer is that heat causes ice cubes to melt.
How does temperature affect an ice cube?
The hotter the temperature, the faster the ice cube will melt. The colder the temperature, the better an ice cube will stay in solid form.
Why does a ice cube melts when placed inside a glass of juice?
The juice is warmer than the cold ice cube, so the heat causes the ice to melt.
Does the shape of an ice cube affect how long it takes the ice cube to melt?
Yes, absolutely. Heat transfer from the surrounding environment into the ice cube causes it to melt. The greater the rate of heat transfer INTO to ice cube, the faster it will melt. The greater the surface area of the ice cube, in relation to it size, the faster the melting will occur. The ideal shape for the least heat transfer [and this is true for cold or hot objects] is a SPHERE. A sphere has the minimum surface area for the mass of the object. Any shape other than a sphere has more surface area for the mass, an will melt faster. The thinner more spreak out ice will melt faster melting consumes enerhy inthe form of heat. The amount of energy needed is the proportional of the ice water. The heat applied to it can be radiation or matter. Johnson Kevin, Ohio
Will an ice cube melt in oil?
If the oil is warmer than the ice cube then the ice will melt.
