Metal absorbs and retains heat more effectively than water. This is because metal has a higher thermal conductivity, allowing it to transfer heat more efficiently. In contrast, water has a higher specific heat capacity, which means it can absorb more heat without its temperature rising as quickly as metal.

Why does a can with boiling water in it implode when put into a bucket with cold water in it?

When a can with boiling water is placed into a bucket of cold water, the steam inside the can condenses rapidly, creating a vacuum. This sudden decrease in pressure outside the can causes it to collapse inward.


Is water a better conductor than metal?

No, water is not a better conductor than metal. Metal is a much better conductor of electricity than water because of its free-flowing electrons that allow for easier passage of electric current. Water, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity due to its lack of free electrons.


How is the properties of water glycerol and oil compaired to the properties of the liquid in radiators?

The more vigorously they oscillate, the more energy they have, the hotter the metal (more heat). If the metal is heated too much, the atoms oscillate too vigorously to stay at their fixed positions hope this helps :-)

Why is sitting in a 100F hot tub feels much hotter than standing outside on a 100F day?

Sitting in a hot tub at 100F feels hotter than standing outside on a 100F day because the water conducts heat more effectively than air. This means the heat from the hot tub water transfers to your body more efficiently, making it feel hotter. In addition, the hot tub usually surrounds you on all sides, enclosing the heat and making it feel more intense compared to standing outside where the air can circulate around you.

How much water is displaced if a 3005 cm squared piece of metal is put into a 40 l bucket of water?

First of all, if you're going to work with the volume of displaced water, it makes no difference at all how much water you start out with. The object would displace the same amount from a bucket as it would from Lake Michigan. But, to deal with the answer to your question: It's not possible to answer your question. The volume of water displaced is the same as the volume of the metal that you drop into the bucket. But you've only told us the area of one flat side of the metal. We have no idea what its volume may be until we also know its thickness.
