Question

5 Which is true when an ice cube melts?
A Volume and mass increase.
B Volume and mass do not change.
C Volume decreases, but mass does not
change.
D Volume increases, but mass decreases​

Answer 1

Answer:

C) volume decreases, but mass does not change.

Explanation:

The ice cube is floating, so based on Archimedes' Principle 1 above, we know that the volume of water being displaced (moved out of the way) is equal in mass (weight) to the mass of the ice cube. So, if the ice cube has a mass of 10 grams, then the mass of the water it has displaced will be 10 grams.
