Why is a hot water burn worse than a metal burn at the same temperature?
Part of it has to do with the difference in specific heat(the measure of the heat energy required to increase the temperature of a unit quantity of a substance by a certain temperature interval), where water has a specific heat that is typically much higher than a given metal. Another part has to do with the fact that water is a liquid, meaning it can flow, and its adhesive(attraction between unlike molecules) properties that cause it to stick to your skin. So, the hot water stores more energy than the metal at the same temperature, and touching it causes it to stick to you, unlike metal which one can typically pull away from. These factors lead to a worse burn
What temperature of metal will burn human skin?
Metal can cause burns at temperatures as low as 50-60 degrees Celsius. Skin can suffer first-degree burns at this temperature, while more severe burns can occur at higher temperatures. It's essential to handle hot metal with caution and appropriate protective equipment to avoid burns.
How cold does the ground have to be for snow to stick?
Generally, for snow to stick, the ground temperature needs to be at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). However, factors such as humidity, air temperature, and the intensity of the snowfall can also affect whether snow will stick to the ground.

Which part of the matchsick burns first?
The head of the match where the flammable material is located is usually the first part of the match stick to catch on fire.
What type of energy does a match stick have before it begins to burn?
A match stick typically contains potential energy in the form of chemical energy stored in the match head and the striking surface. When the match is struck, this potential energy is converted into thermal energy and light as the match ignites and burns.
Why does matchstick does not catch fire at room temperature?
Because of lower ignition temperature of the chemical applied on match stick.
Why do matches usually have red tips?
The red tip is actually a chemical called Phospsorous. It burns when we rub it against the face of the match stick.

Is it possible to stick a match in your nose?
Of course it's possible to stick a match up your nose, but why would anyone want to do that?Now, if you meant "strike a match inside your nose", then that sounds much more reasonable.Matches need enough friction to ignite the chemicals on the match head. It is unlikely that the mucous membranes inside your nose have enough friction. Besides...the chemicals on a match head should not come in contact with any part of your face.
