Explain why will an ice cube placed in a cup of hot rotating water spin automatically faster than th..

Answer / Nitin Trivedi

When an ice cube is placed in a rotating container of hot water, the ice cube spins faster due to the conservation of angular momentum. As heat transfers from the hot water to the ice cube, the ice cube melts and its mass decreases. This results in an increase in its rotational speed to conserve angular momentum.
