Why does ice cubes melt in water, juice and ice tea? please answer?

im doing a science project and i wqant to know why ice cubes melt.


Answers:
Do your own homework.

the beverage is warmer tham the ice silly.

because they're sad.

it's because the liquid's warmer that the ice, heating the cubes surface above freezing converting the water from a solid to a liquid state.

jesse is giving you the correct answer. The beverage is warmer than the ice... They meet in the middle (ice gets warmer -melts, beverage gets colder)
I sure hope you are in grade school

an ice cube will melt if the environment is warmer then the temperature water freezes at(look that one up for yourself) the ice cube will always melt in any liquid that is warmer that itself. even you refrigerated the ice cube in the drink it will still melt just at a much slower rate

Wow, there really is people this stupid!

as soon as you take it out of the freezer its starts to melt,because of the temperature being warmer

Because whenever there's a difference in temperature between two substances in contact, they will want to transfer energy so that the two substances will eventually be at the same energy. But since ice (i.e. solid water) changes form or melts at 0 degrees Celsius, and water, juice and ice tea, if they are liquid, will be higher than 0 degrees Celsius, they will want to transfer energy to the ice cube.

Adding energy to the ice cube will bring it to a higher temperature, and eventually melt it.
