If I heat some ice cubes in a pan and monitor the temperature the whole time, why does the temperature stay the same for a while and then begin to rise? When will the temperature rise again?
The energy is used to break up the ice lattice. The temp will rise again once all the ice cubes are melted.
Jahiem has four objects that have the same mass and same volume. One of the objects floats and the other three sink. Why?
