When a thermometer bulb containing mercury is placed in hot water, the mercury inside expands, causing the level of mercury to rise. This expansion of mercury is used to measure the increase in temperature accurately.
When a hot red metal is immersed in water, a layer of vapor forms around the metal, insulating it from direct contact with the water. This layer of vapor prevents the water from coming into contact with the metal and reaching boiling temperature. As a result, the water does not boil immediately.
When you add hot water to cold water, the cold water warms up because of thermal conduction. Some of the kinetic energy of the hot water transfers to the cold water on contact, eventually leading to a uniform temperature throughout.
The water will flash to steam, resulting in what is known as a phreatic eruption.
Light bulbs usually do not shatter when they are turned on. If they change temperature rapidly from hot to cold then this could happen. The usual scenario is that they get splashed with cold water from another source. This rapid change in operating temperature of the glass globe causes the glass globe around the filament to contract and burst. When the atmosphere hits the hot filament it literally burns up and the light bulb goes out.
yes any pipe will
During a freeze, water in pipes can freeze and expand, causing the pipes to burst. This can lead to a loss of water pressure and potentially no hot water as the pipes are damaged and unable to deliver it.
The bulb of a clinical thermometer breaks when placed in very hot water because the sudden increase in temperature causes the air inside the bulb to expand rapidly. This rapid expansion of air creates pressure within the bulb, leading to its breakage.
The very centre of the bulb itself is the Hot contact. The screw in base is the neutral connection.

You can't get a wart from a hot light bulb.
Either this is a plumbing mistake or the cold water has been switched off and the hot water heater is draining. If no cold line valve has been turned off. It may indicate a burst pipe.
No, the cold water supplies the water heater also. No water coming in means no water at all.
If a vulcano were to burst on a glacier, it would melt faster than an ice-cube under hot water.
Bubbles typically last longer in cold water than in hot water. This is because cold water has a higher concentration of dissolved gases, which helps maintain the integrity of the bubble's structure. In contrast, hot water has lower gas solubility, causing bubbles to burst more quickly.
The water will evaporate quickly due to the heat of the stove. It may sizzle or produce steam upon contact with the hot surface. If the stove is extremely hot, the water may even evaporate before making direct contact.
