False: because atoms are base on the elements on the periodic table.
Answer:
0.686 g of ice melts each second.
Solution:
As per the question:
Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = 
Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m
Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = 
Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

where
= temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.
Thus

Now,
To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

where
= Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.
<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>
Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.
Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;
KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J
PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.40 m = 352.8 J
The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J
