Why does it take longer to heat a bucket of water than a cup of water?

Because there is more water in a bucket than in a cup, and more energy has to be put into the bucket of water than the little cup of water to bring them to the same temperature.

Does it take longer for water to cool or heat up?
It takes longer to cool off, but mostly depending on the temperature.
When you add an object in water why does it take longer to heat up?
because the object needs also to heat up
Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
Why does water take longer to heat?
The boiling point is increased after adding impurities to water.
A technique used to calculate the volume of irregularly shaped solids?
To calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped object, a good idea would be to get a bucket full of water and submerge that object into the bucket. Then measure the amount of water that runs over and that should be the volume of your object. For example if you take a sealed bottle of bottle stick it in a bucket filled with water, then let it's volume filll the space and displace the water. The water that is displaced or the water that runs out is the volume of your irregular shape. Get it?
What does water take longer o do than land?
Water takes longer to heat up and to cool down then it does for land.
Does the amount of water affect when the water boils?
yes. the more water the longer it would take for the heating element to heat the water. the less water, the less time it would take to heat.
How do you convert calories to degrees Celsius?
You don't, because they measure different things. Temperature (degrees Celsius) describes how deep the heat is in something, whereas energy (calories) describes how much heat energy you put into it in order to make it that deep. -- I have a bucket of water on the table. -- I take a small cup, I dip a cup of water out of the bucket, and I place the cup on the table next to the bucket. -- The water in the bucket and the water in the cup both have the same temperature. -- I want to make the cup 10 degrees warmer, and I also want to make the bucket 10 degrees warmer. -- I'll need to add more calories of heat to the bucket, and fewer calories of heat to the cup, to raise both temperatures by the same number of degrees.

When you add an object in water why does it take longer to heat up?
because the object needs also to heat up
Why would a glass of cold water reach room temperature faster than a bucket of cold water?
It takes less time to cool or heat a galls of water because there is less water. If it was a spoon of water it would take less time than a bucket. It is all about amount.
Who is the original inventor of pulleys?
A farmer who used to take out water bucket by bucket from a deep water well.
Why does water take longer to melt than tomato sauce?
Because when you are cooking sauce it's thicker then water so it takes longer to heat.
Why does it a take a full kettle of water to boil longer than a half full kettle?
The more water in the kettle, the longer it will take to reach boiling point. This is why it is wasteful in energy to boil a full kettle if you only want to brew a small cup of tea.
Why does it take water longer to cool down?
Because the specific heat of water is very high. In fact, water has about 1400 times more heat carrying capacity than air.
Does soil absorb radiation better than water?
Water absorbs and conducts radiation better. ex. electricity is a form of radiation this is false because water will take longer to absorb heat than soil but when the source of heat is gone the water will insulate more heat than the soil, therefore the water will keep heat longer than soil but the soil will heat up faster.
Does the amount of carbon atoms effect the heating of water?
Sort of. If carbon has a lower specific heat than water, the more percentage of the water is carbon, the easier it will heat up. Otherwise, it will take longer.
