Which contains more heat an iceberg or a pot of boiling water?
"More temperature" is incorrect grammar. A pot of boiling water (probably; it depends on the pressure) has a highertemperature than an iceberg, if that's what you were trying to ask. However, unless it's quite small, the iceberg likely has more heat energy simply by virtue of having a much larger volume.
Can a large iceberg have more heat than a cup of boiling water?
yes
Which has more heat an iceberg of a pot of boiling water?
Iceberg.Heat is anything above absolute zero (-273 degrees C).It is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.The iceberg is a huge object with a lot of mass or volume than a pot of water.Therefore due to the massive size of the iceberg the amount of heat (even though it is not as 'hot' as the boiling water) is greater.
What energy does boiling water use?
heat
What heat energy do you feel from boiling water?
A lot.
Which has more heat energy the ice sculpture or a lighted match?
First note that "thermal energy" is a term that is long since obsolete. The correct term is "Internal Energy". "Thermal energy" was a term that was in use when people thought of energy as being some kind of fluid called "caloric" that was transferred between things at different temperatures. With that said: an iceberg has more internal energy when compared to a hot cup of coffee mainly due to the variance in size. Total internal energy is not necessarily determined by the presence of heat but the mass of the molecules present.
Why on heating a liquid to boiling point heat energy is converted to potential energy?
the heat is a form of energy...and heat is stored is the water...so heat energy become potential energy because heat is stored in water
Why does corn on the cob spin in boiling water?
heat produces energy which causes the corn to spin in boiling water.
What has more heat energy an iceberg or hot tea?
It surely depends on how big the iceberg is ,as a really big iceberg contains a lot of thermal energy and much more than a liter of hot water.
Is boiling water mechanicl or heat or light or chemical or electrical or nuclear energy?
Boiling of water is caused when we provide heat energy to water which then converts into mechanical energy when the water molecules gets excited and results in escaping the surface forming vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure leading to boiling.
