It doesn't?
Heat transfers from hot objects to cold objects and for ice to melt it has to increase the temperature.
Objects would be like a lap, stove, & microwave. There’s many options.
Answer:
KE = PE at half the table Height:
Explanation
AT ANY POINT IN THE BOOK'S FALL,
TOTAL E = PE +KE
THE TOTAL E IS CONSTANT
Before the book is pushed off, the total energy is potential
TOT E=PE =MGH
BEFORE THE BOOK HITS THE GROUND, THE TOTAL E IS KINETIC
TOT=KE = MVXV/2
WHEN KE = PE
KE+PE =<u> MGH (STARTING ENERGY SINCE E IS CONSERVED)</u>
<u>OR PE+ PE = MGH</u>
<u>OR MGH' + MGH' =MGH</u>
<u>OR 2H' =</u>H
H' (NEW HEIGHT) =H/2
