I’m not a huge natural science person, but I just wonder what the process of “transferring” temperature is from ice to drinks. And why does it happen fast?
In: Physics
Temperatures always want to be in equilibrium, so when something cold touches something hot, the cold object steals heat from the hot object so they both can have the same temperature. In this case the cold ice absorbs the heat from the drink and that lowers it’s temperature. Another example is when you have a hot food, the air surrounding it is colder so it steals the heat from the food making it “cold”
