The hot loses heat and the cold gains heat, mostly by convection currents in the air, but there will be some radiation and possibly some conduction to/from the table. If the table is wooden this conduction would be small but would be more if it is made of marble or something similar, or metal.

Why does a cold glass of water leave a ring on the table?

A glass of cold water leaves a wet ring on the table because the heat energy from the outside and the cold glass of water inside the cup then it begins to drip Yea its a little confusing i don't know how to explain it very well


Is a glass of water sitting on a table potential energy?

No, a glass of water sitting on a table does not have potential energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or state, such as when the glass of water is raised above the table.


How does sunlight affect the temperature of pool water?

Sunlight warms the pool water by transferring heat energy. The water absorbs sunlight, causing it to heat up. The temperature of the pool water will increase if it receives more sunlight and decreases if it is shaded from sunlight.


Why does a glass leave a ring on the table?

When a glass is placed on a table, the weight of the glass creates pressure on the point of contact. This pressure can cause tiny scratches on the table surface, which are then filled with moisture from the condensation on the glass. As the moisture evaporates, it leaves behind a ringed mark on the table.


Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?

The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.

Why do bubbles appear in a glass of water over time?

As you leave a glass of water out, it warms. As it warms, various gasses (CO2, O2) become less soluble in it. Hence they escape from it in the form of these bubbles!


What happen to the mass and weight of a glass of water left on a table over many days?

If the glass of water is left on the table over many days, the mass of the water will remain the same as the amount of water does not change. However, the weight of the glass of water may decrease slightly due to evaporation of the water, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.


Why is water dripping from the airconditioner when it's a hot day?

The exact same reason a glass filled with ice water sitting on a table has CONDENSATION forming on the outside of the glass .. The ambient temperature is HIGHER then the glass and thus the dripping


How many ways can you empty a glass of water which is on a table without touching either the table or the glass?

You could blow on the water, causing it to spill out of the glass. Alternatively, you could tilt the table slightly to pour out the water without physically touching the glass or the table.

How do you empty a glass of water without touching the glass or table?

Push it off the table with a rolled up piece of paper.


Will a glass of water on your table beside your bed evaporate faster in the summer or the winter?

Evaporation depends upon temperature so in the summer evaporation is accelerated.


What happens when a glass of water at room temperature is placed in the refrigerator?

That would depend on three main factors: 1) The Initial Temperature of the glass of water 2) The temperature of the room 3) Time Additional Factors that could influence what happens: 1) Proximity to a heat source 2) Temperature of the surface the glass is sitting on 3) Lighting 4) Color of the glass 5) Type of glass 6) Shape of glass Heat always moves from a hotter area (higher energy) to areas that are cooler (lower energy), the outcome of the glass of water, will primarily depend on the temperature of the room and the temperature of the water. IF: The temperature of the water is lower then the temperature of the room then the glass of water will get warmer. I.e. the ice cubes in a glass of coke melting during a hot summer's day at the beach. IF: The temperature of the water is higher than that of the room temperature then the glass of water will get cooler. I.e. a glass of water freezing when set out side in the middle of winter in Antarctica. The other factors will mainly dictate how fast or slow the temperature change will occur. The temperature of the water will approach the air temperature.


Is it correct to say a cold glass of water or a glass of cold water?

It depends If the water is cold and the temp of glass don;t matter than it is glass of cold water If the glass is cold and the temp of the water don't matter than it is cold glass of water People normally use glass of cold water
