It's better to think that the glass is half full.
There are three views of this: The optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The Engineer says: "What you've got there is the wrong sized glass".
When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.
They are basically asking if someone is choosing to be an optimist or a pessimist. If a glass is half full there are 2 ways of seeing it; as being either half empty or half full. An optimist would view it as being half empty (THATS WRONG), but a pessimist would see it as being half full (OTHER WAY AROUND) so that they can have something to complain about. Asking if a glass is half empty or full is a test of your attitude and personality. If you answer the question with half empty that means you see things more negative. If you answer half full it says you look at things more positive. No answer is the right answer. If you want your answer to be half full when you believe it's half empty than you can't change your point of view. Stick with your original answer, no one will care. :0) DT Wrote: who ever wrote above made a mistake. Pessimist will view glass as half empty, Optimist would see it as Half Full as in almost full just a little more to go. Stuff in Quotations is MINE!
According to the two and a half men full cast and crew website he wasnt but this is always a good thing to investigate in more depth if you wish to.
i did, i am just a poor man who has a dangerous obsession about the unanswerable things in life, and who cares who wrote it! you should be more botherd about what the answer is! this is one of the easy ones!!!
Ice melts because the room temperature changes making the ice hotter and agitating the molecules inside it. As they are agitated by heat, they become more dense and the ice becomes more liquid, until it melts.
The Water
Pick an answer: a) For both glasses, the water is about the same temperature, say just above 32F. Then the glass without ice has the most water by mass. b) The glass with only water is quite hot, say just below boiling. The glass with water and ice cubes is just about at 32F and the volume of ice is very small (less than 2%). The the glass with water and ice could have more water by mass. c) By definition, water refers to H2O in its solid form. By definition, ice refers to H2O in its solid form. So, "by definition", the half full glass with ice will always have less water by volume.
usally no.
the water spills
Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).
