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
One of the big laws of the universe is that heat flows from hot things to cold things around them until the (originally) hot and cold things reach roughly the same temperature. This is what is happening with your drink. Its heat is transferred to the ice, warming the ice and cooling your drink.
