What else can I help you with?
Is a metal cup a better insulator or a plastic cup a better insulator?
Putting the cup in the freezer keeps ice from melting. Those cups will slow down the melting rate, but if you've got ice at room temperature it's gonna melt eventually. Having said that, ice will melt slowest in a styrofoam cup.
Why do Styrofoam cups keep liquid warmer then plastic cups?
This experiment works by assuming a heat balance. You assume that all of the heat in the iron goes into the water and that none of it leaves the system, so you want your experimental apparatus to be as insulating as possible.If you use a cup with poorer insulative properties, you will estimate a lower value for the specific heat of iron. The styrofoam cup is not a perfect insulator, but it is better than plastic or ceramic.You can get a feel for this by pouring three cups of kettle water into plastic, ceramic and styrofoam cups. Leave them sit for a set time. Which one feels the hottest? That one is the best insulator. Which one feels the coolest? That one is the poorest insulator.
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why?
Styrofoam because it has a thick layer and is a good insulator.Paper and plastic are could alternatives but Styrofoam would work better, therefore glass would be the worst one to use because it would only keep it warm for a couple of minutes.
What type of cup keeps water warm the longest-plastic paper styrofoam or glass and why results?
A glass cup would keep water warm the longest because glass is a good insulator and retains heat well compared to plastic, paper, or styrofoam which are poorer insulators. This is because glass has a lower thermal conductivity compared to the other materials, so heat escapes more slowly.
Can a styrofoam cup keep hot water hot?
A styrofoam cup can help to retain heat, but it is not as effective as materials like ceramic or insulated metal. Hot water in a styrofoam cup will cool down faster compared to using a better insulated material.
What type of cup will keep water the coldest a styrofoam cup or plastic cup?
Styrofoam insulates better than a single layer of plastic. If, however, you have one of those plastic cups that have an outer and an inner "wall" with a sealed air space in between, that should work better than the Styrofoam.
In which cup does ice melt faster a plactic stirophone or paper and why?
Ice will typically melt faster in a plastic or styrofoam cup compared to a paper cup. This is because plastic and styrofoam are better insulators, meaning they transfer heat more efficiently than paper. Therefore, the heat from the surroundings will more readily reach the ice in a plastic or styrofoam cup, causing it to melt faster.
Does ice melt faster when light is over a styrofoam or plastic cup?
no, it dosen't
On which cup keeps liquid hot the longest styrofoam glass plastic or paper?
syrofoam

What is the best cup to keep a drink hot?
Styrofoam cups will keep a hot drink warmer for a long time. Insulated cups will also keep your drink warmer longer.
What cup is easier to hold with hot water a plastic one or metal?
a styrofoam cup. i tried it on my science project
What keeps water hotter paper or styrofoam?
styrofoam, but warning fammable and unsafe for the environment!
Can a styrofoam cup be used as a candle wind protector?
No, a styrofoam cup is flammable and could pose a fire hazard if placed over a candle. It is not recommended to use styrofoam as a candle wind protector. It is better to use non-flammable materials like glass or metal for this purpose.
What is the average mass of a Styrofoam cup?
The average mass of a Styrofoam cup is approximately 5 grams.
Does cold water stay colder in a plastic cup or a foam cup?
You're talking about holding the temperature of the water, right? As far as containing the liquid, they're about equal...but a styrofoam or double-wall plastic cup would hold temp better than a glass cup which would work better than a single-wall plastic cup.
