Ice in blanket
Classical Mechanics
Level
1
When we take a blanket at room temperature and wrap it around ourselves, we become warmer than if we are not covered by the blanket.
When we take a blanket at room temperature and wrap it around an ice cube, would the ice melt faster or slower than if it was not covered by the blanket?
Details and Assumptions:
- Assume that the ice does not touch the blanket due to an air gap between the blanket and the ice.
- The initial temperatures of the blanket and the room are the same.
