What else can I help you with?
Does a glass tumbler containing hot water crack if you cool it by pouring cold water on it?
Yes, it is possible for a glass tumbler containing hot water to crack if you cool it rapidly by pouring cold water on it. The sudden change in temperature can create stress within the glass, causing it to crack or shatter. It is recommended to gradually cool the glass to prevent this from happening.
Why shouldn't you pour a hot liquid into a cold glass?
The hot liquid could crack a cold glass.
Why do concrete patios crack?
A concrete patio usually cracks due to heat cold. If it is to cold it contract and break. If it is to hot it will expand and break. Then water can seep into those cracks and freeze causing the crack to expand
Will a hot egg crack more than a cold egg?
Yes, a hot egg is more likely to crack than a cold egg when placed in boiling water because of the sudden temperature change. The thermal expansion in the hot egg causes stress on its shell, making it more susceptible to cracking.
During a class discussion about hot and cold weather emergencies you remind the class that the human body depends upon what to cool itself in hot environments?

Why does a glass tumber containing hot water crack if you cool it by powering cold water on it?
Because you're cooling down, thus shrinking the glass, outside MORE than the inside (in contact with hot water)
Can you blow a head gasket by pouring water into reservoir tank?
No. Hot or cold. This can be done by running the engine at the same time to ensure the fluid mixes. The danger would be introducing cold water into a hot engine which could crack the block.
Is water hot or cold?
Water can be either hot or cold depending on the temperature. Water at room temperature is considered neither hot nor cold.
Why should you not put hot water on your car's windshield to melt the ice formed on a cold winter day?
Pouring hot water on a cold windshield can cause it to crack due to sudden temperature change. It is best to use lukewarm water or a de-icer solution specifically designed for car windshields to safely remove ice.
On a hot-water heater can you tie in the cold water supply at the bottom of the heater?
Personally I would not, as the cold water could thermo-shock the heater. And if you have a glass-lined tank, it will crack it and shorten the life of the tank. I would follow the manufacturer's instructions.
