Which has more heat in it: a bathtub full of warm water or a drinking glass full of water at the same temperature? Use common sense and scientific logic to explain your reasoning

I imagine that by "heat" you mean "thermal energy". The bathtub would have more stored thermal energy because it contains a larger volume of water at the same temperature. Think about it in reverse. It would take a lot more "heat" to warm up all of the water in the bathtub as opposed to heating the water in the glass.

The bath tub; Because more water can hold more heat.

bathtub water has more heat
Q=(m)*(s)*(T)
Q=heat
m=mass of water
s= specific heat of water
T=temp rise
m is larger in bathtub
