im assuming you meant to type water...

this happens because heat makes things expand, whilst cold makes things contract. by putting a hot beaker in cold water, you put too much strain on the beaker because it is changing size so fast

How can you prove hot and cold are relative term?

"Cold" and "hot" are the terms of describing temperature difference between two systems. To prove this, perform two trials in an experiment. If it is cold outside, do a trial with cold water from a faucet, spend some time outside, return to the faucet and then turn the cold water on again. Your findings will be that by changing your body's external temperature, you can feel the cold water that kept its temperature constant as relatively cold or warm. ________________________________________________________________ cold and hot are totallly relative term. it jst can be seen very much easily by a simple exp. jst take two beakers of water and in one put hot water nd in other put cold one. dip ur hands in it fr sme time n take ur hands out. you will notice dat your hand which was in hot beaker will feel cold sensation were as in other hand it will have hot sensation. here we can think the room temperature to be a critical point. so the hands being in cold beaker was having temperature lower were as in other it was viceversa.
