Physics Trick Exposed: Water Saves Cup from Melting

Показать описание
The trick in the video where a plastic cup doesn't melt when there's water inside is explained by the concept of specific heat capacity.

Specific heat capacity is a property of a substance that indicates how much heat energy is needed to raise the temperature of a given amount of that substance by 1 degree Celsius. Water has an exceptionally high specific heat capacity, about 4184 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius. This means it requires a significant amount of energy to increase the temperature of water, making it an efficient heat storage medium.

Water's high specific heat capacity has important implications for both natural environments and human activities. It helps regulate temperature in oceans, lakes, and living organisms, contributing to climate moderation and stability in coastal regions. Additionally, water's ability to absorb and store large amounts of heat plays a crucial role in weather patterns.

I had watched this video years ago. Thanks for clarifying it. Is it the same reason why balloon filled with water don't burst like those filled with air

Specific heat capacity... ah, chemistry class

Water's latent heat of vaporization is even more impressive, to convert that same 1kg of water from 100° liquid to 100° steam will require more than 2.2 million joules.

1 Kcal = 4200J

I remember this from physics class

And how many Jules does it take to hear 1 KG the 1 degree to melt the ice?
And why does melting ice quickly cool things down.
This is a subject for a short vid

it takes time to warm up but once my heart is full it holds onto that warmth


What 😗
