What will happen energetically to a cup of boiling hot water that is added to a cup containing a cold piece of metal?
choices are: The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to warm up and the metal to cool down. b. The energy from the hot water will flow into the cold metal, cooling the water down and heating up the metal. c. The cold will flow from the metal into the hot water, causing the hot water to cool down and the metal to warm up. d. The metal will cool down because the specific heat of water is high.
Which type of cup keeps cold water hottest plastic paper metal or glass?
No, paper will not keep water cold for the longest time. A metal cup will keep water the same temperature for the longest time. I know this because I did a science experiment about this but instead of cold water I used hot, which won't really make a difference. The next would be glass then paper.
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when in cold water?
Because metal conducts heat faster than wood. The temperature of the water will be carried up to your hand much more efficiently by the metal spoon than a wooden spoon.
Why there are water droplets formed on the body of a car although it did not rain?
Moist warm air touching the car's cold metal body, as the temparature falls during the night, causes condensation as water droplets to form on the metal.
The extent of cold work that a metal can withstand depends on?
The extent of cold work that a metal can withstand depends on the recrystallization point which is usually carried out at room temperature. The cold rolling and cold drawing of metal significantly improves surface finish.
What kind of metal explodes when it comes near water?
Caesium
What shiny metal explodes on contact with air or water?
Rubidium and caesium
Sodium metal would never be used to manufacture bath tubs why?
It explodes on contact with water.
Why metal turns cold when put in cold water?
cause you put it in cold water... so it makes it cold.

Sodium metal explodes when placed in water is this a physical property?
No, it is a chemical substance. The explosion is a violent chemical reaction.
What explodes in water that can destroy something?
Sodium when placed in water explodes.
Which physical property of lithium is seen during it's reaction with cold water?
It floats on the surface of the water due to its low density.
How do you shorten a metal band?
Stick it in cold water.
What metal reacts quickly with water and acid?
Metals that react well with water: Sodium - fizzes Potassium - burns Caesium - explodes Metals that react well with acids: Magnesium
What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
If a cold piece of metal is placed in an equal mass of warm water will the final temperature be closer to the original temperature of the metal or the water?
Temperature of the water
