If it were broken, no hot water would be contained in the mug or tea cup.


Why does hot water in a metal mug cool down quickly?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so when hot water is placed in a metal mug, the heat is quickly transferred from the water to the mug and then to the surrounding air. This rapid heat transfer accelerates the cooling process of the water.


How was the energy of the boiling water transferred to the mug?

The energy from the boiling water is transferred to the mug through conduction. The hot water molecules collide with the mug's molecules, causing them to vibrate and increase in temperature.


How long will plastic cup keep hot water warm?

A plastic cup will not keep hot water warm for a significant amount of time. It is not an effective insulator and heat will dissipate quickly. It is recommended to use a thermal mug or a container specifically designed to keep beverages warm for longer periods.

Why does hot water cool down more quickly in a metal mug?

Metal is a good conductor of heat, so it allows heat to flow from the hot water more quickly than a material like ceramic or glass. This results in faster heat loss and a quicker cooling of the water inside the metal mug.


Why do tea drinkers prefer a teacup?

They prefer tea cups as tea is served very hot and a tea cup is thinner than a coffee mug so the tea will cool quicker oppossed to a coffee mug which is supposed to keep your coffee hot.
