The answer will depend on the size of the cup and, therefore, the quantity of water in it!
The average mass of a Styrofoam cup is approximately 5 grams.
To make a styrofoam calorimeter, you will need a styrofoam cup, a lid for the cup, a thermometer, and a stirrer. Cut a hole in the lid to insert the thermometer. Fill the cup with a known volume of water and record its initial temperature. Place the cup in a larger container filled with water and heat or cool the water to a desired temperature. Place the lid on the cup and stir the water to ensure even temperature distribution. Record the final temperature of the water to calculate the heat exchange.
A styrofoam cup will float in water because styrofoam is less dense than water, causing it to displace water and float.

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.

A metal cup would likely keep the hot water warmer for a longer period than a styrofoam cup due to its superior insulating properties. Metal is generally a better conductor of heat, so it is able to retain heat better than styrofoam, which is a poor insulator.
That depends on many things. This question is too vague. Variables such as starting temp, surrounding environment temp, time it's been in the cup, and thickness of the styrofoam will change the answer
styrofoam keeps the water warm hahAHAHAHA
a styrofoam cup. i tried it on my science project
When the metal is poured into the Styrofoam cup of water, the heat stored in the metal is transferred to the water and the cup. This transfer of heat causes the temperature of the water and the cup to increase, as the metal cools down.
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.
