Okay, cuz I'm a girl, and I like to take bubble baths,so I has been bothering me, how whenever i turn on the water, it takes a second to heat up, [normal] but then when the hot water comes, I close the drain, and the tub starts filling. So how come with all that hot water, the cold water stays at the back of the tub? Because I like to sit back, and it will all be cold.... So I am just wondering, how come cold water and hot water don't mix well in a tub?

temp diffs. Yo.
Actually, the water at the back of the tub has been sitting there longer, exposed to the air and cooling down. The water at the front has just left the spout hot and hasn't had time to cool down yet. I know what you mean, though. I have to swish the back with the front to keep them even.

Hot water is less dense than cold water so it stays on the top unless you stir the water up. Also, your body acts as a dam, stopping the hot water at the far end mixing with the cooler water at the sitting end. Lift yourself up and give the water a thorough swirl to mix it from time to time, or let me stir it for you!

Agree with above. There's always going to be that initial cold feeling on your back as you lay against a metal tub.

get a man, put him in the back and lay against his warm body. Problem solved.

because they are different temperatures, the molecules are moving at different speeds and it takes a while for them to find a balance
