The water has intermolecular forces that holds the liquid together.?

These forces are from the hydrogen bonding between Hydrogen and Oxygen.?


Hot and Cold are terms that describe relative heat and energy within a substance. Under high heat and high kinetic energy within the molecules, the substance is referred to as hot.

The kinetic energy within substances can break the intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds.


Water also bonds with the hull of a boat but when heat is available to keep the water moving, the length of time that the water stays bonded to the hull is reduced.?


In Hot water, the hull of the boat is bonded and held back by the water for a shorter amount of time while in cold water, the bonds between the water molecules are stronger. The stronger cold water molecules stay bonded longer and with stronger bonds. When a boat cuts through the water, it needs to break the hydrogen bonds within the cold water but the bonds in cold water are much stronger than in hot water.


The boat must expend kinetic energy to break the bonds. So the energy to move the boat is spent on breaking the bonds rather than moving the boat forward.?


The difference between hot and cold water is minimal.

What are the chances of a boy falling off a boat and surviving?

Quite high regardy such things like the tempetature of the or where the boat was. If it was a cold water and the water was cold hympohermia could kick in. But your chances are high if survival


Is cold water a different color than warm water?

No.


How can the movement of molecules help explain why hot water evaporates faster?

If the water is cold, that means that water molecules have small speed, in hot water, molecules have greater speed, thus greater energy, and need less energy than cold water to be kicked out through the surface.

Can a toy boat float in cold water better than in warm water?

There is no difference on how well a toy boat will float in water depending upon the temperature. The ability for an object to float is if it can displace more than its own weight in water, which doesn't depend on the temperature of the water.


Does a tsunami go faster when the water is cold or warm?

There is no discernible difference in speed due to water temperature. The wave speed depends upon wavelength and the depth of the water for tsunamis at sea.


Why does he get hot and cold?

All people get hot when they exercise and cold when they swim in cold water, why should he be any different.


Will a boat go faster in cold water or hot water?

In hotter water, if the viscosity lessens, the drag from the water will be less, but if the water becomes less dense, more of the hull will be in the water, increasing drag.


Do hot and cold water molecules move at the same speed?

Hot water molecules move a lot faster han cold water molecules because they have a higher kinetic energy due to the heat.
