What happens to the thermal energy if you drop an ice cube in a warm drink and it melts?

Best answer
When an ice cube is dropped into a warm drink and it melts, the thermal energy from the drink is transferred to the ice cube. This causes the ice cube to melt, and the thermal energy is released as the ice cube changes from a solid to a liquid. The energy released is equal to the energy that was absorbed by the ice cube, and the temperature of the drink will decrease as a result.

as heat transfers into the ice, the ice molecules move faster and eventually the ice melts. Conversely, when heat transfers from your beverage to the ice and the temperature of the liquid drops, the molecules in the beverage slow down

depends on who are you talking about because in the case f the ice the thermal energy of the molecules increased but in the case of the water the thermal energy decreased.

The thermal energy from the warm drink transfers to the ice cube, causing it to melt as the heat is absorbed and increases the temperature of the ice.

The thermal energy from the warm drink is transferred to the ice cube, causing it to melt. As the ice cube melts, it absorbs the thermal energy and turns into liquid form. The thermal energy is then distributed throughout the drink, making it warmer.
