Want this question answered?
changes from heat energy to mechanical energy because the heat from the hot cocoa is heat energy and mechanical energy is when you move your hand to get the cup or when u drink the hot cocoa
please help
Thermal energy is the internal energy of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium by virtue of its temperature. A hot body has more thermal energy than a similar cold body, but a large tub of cold water may have more thermal energy than a cup of boiling water. Thermal energy can be transferred from one body, usually hotter, to a second body, usually colder, in three ways: conduction , convection, and radiation. Insulator
It depends whether or not what you hold it with is warmer or cooler than the iced tea. In most cases it will probably be held in our hand which is likely to be warmer than the iced tea and so the thermal energy will flow from your hand, through the glass and then into the iced tea - warming it up. If whatever you are holding it with is colder then the thermal energy will move from the iced tea to the object with which you are holding it and the tea will cool down even more.
Some flows into your hands by conduction, some is lost to the surrounding air by convection
Hot chocolate itself is not thermal energy. However, a person warming his or her hands on a cup of hot chocolate IS an example of thermal energy. :)
Hot cocoa is a substance, not a form of energy. It possesses energy: heat energy and chemical energy.
it cools off and grows bacteria. AND IT HEATS UP THE ROOM BECAUSE OF THERMAL ENERGY

If the Stainless Steel cup has no insulation the Styrofoam cup will keep it warm longer.
The distance between it's atoms will decrease.
get a cup and put it in then cover it with a ray shield
a thermal cup is an insulated drinking vessel.
please help
The heat is thermal energy, but it also has several other forms of energy (including mass energy, potential energy, chemical energy, etc.)
Even though the cup has very hot water it still has less thermal energy than the kettle because the kettle is larger than the cup therefor it has more liquid and more liquid = more molecules and the more molecules the more the heat energy ( thermal energy ) It does not matter how fast the particals are moving just how many there are , the cup has a lot less particals than the kettle so it has less thermal energy. This was wrote by an 11 year old just think about that .
