What else can I help you with?
Why is it that when a container as removed from a fridge there are droplets of water on the body of the container?
its due to condensation. When warm air meets cold.
What actually transferred when you dipped your finger in to the cold water?
When you dip your finger into cold water, thermal energy is transferred from your warmer skin to the cooler water. This transfer of heat occurs because heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium. As your finger loses heat, you perceive the sensation of cold. The water molecules, being at a lower temperature, absorb the heat, which causes the temperature of your finger to drop.
When ice turns to water in a container What is the liquid on the outside of the container?
The liquid to which you are referring is likely condensation - water. When water vapor in the air encounters something cold, such as a container with ice in it, the vapor tends to collect and condense into liquid water around the cold object. The same thing happens with a glass of ice water on a hot day.
What is the opposite of thermal energy?
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
What will happen when a hot piece of metal is attached to cold piece of metal?
Thermal energy will move from the hot to the cold until their temperatures are identical.
Can a container of hot water have the same thermal energy as a container of cold water?
No, it can't have the same thermal energy. The hot water loses energy to the surroundings. Cold is an absence of energy, as energy is removed the water becomes cold.
Does ice cold water have more eneergy than cold tap water?
The energy content of still water isolated from external energy sources is generally thermal energy, and "cold" is in actuality the absence of heat. Thus the colder the water is, the less thermal energy it contains.
Would it be possible for the thermal energy in a bowl of cold water to equal the thermal energy in a bowl of hot water?
it depends on the type of bowl...
What happens to thermal energy when you mix hot and cool water together?
Since hot water is less dense that cold air the hot water will rise and the cold would sink then it keeps doing this in a circular motion 'till the thermal energy reaches to thermal equilibrium.
Does hot water have more energy than cold water and why?
Yes, hot water has more thermal energy than cold water because its molecules are moving faster and have higher kinetic energy. This increased molecular motion results in higher temperature and thermal energy content in hot water compared to cold water.
Can thermal energy be cold?
No, thermal energy cannot be cold. Thermal energy is a form of energy that is related to the temperature of an object or substance. Cold temperatures indicate a lower amount of thermal energy, while hot temperatures indicate a higher amount of thermal energy.
Hypothesis of mixing hot and cold water?
The hypothesis of mixing hot and cold water is that the resulting water will reach a temperature that is the average of the initial temperatures of the hot and cold water. This is based on the principle of thermal equilibrium, where heat will transfer from the hotter water to the colder water until they reach a common temperature.
Does the amount of substance change its thermal energy?
Yes, the more substance you have, the slower the temperature change.
In which direction does thermal energy flow, from hot to cold?
Yes, thermal energy flows from hot to cold.
What will happen when warm water mix with cold water?
When warm water mixes with cold water, the overall temperature will slightly decrease as the warm water transfers some of its heat energy to the cold water until they reach a thermal equilibrium. This process is known as thermal equilibration.
Why when put a cold water in a container it has water outside?
It's condensation formed from the water vapour the surrounding air. The cold water absorbes the heat from the surrounding air, including the water in the air which then lacks the energy to remain as a gas and so forms a liquid droplet on the container.
Why can heat describe both hot and cold water?
Heat refers to the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler one. In the context of water, heat can be used to describe hot water when thermal energy is added to raise its temperature, or cold water when thermal energy is removed to lower its temperature. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the water molecules, with higher temperatures indicating hotter water and lower temperatures indicating colder water.
