When placing cold water into a hot pot to boil what happens to the energy to the cold water as it starts to boil?
Since heat flows from the hot pot to the cold water, the total energy of the cold water will decrease.
Since heat flows from the hot pot to the cold water, the total energy of the cold water will increase.
