Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The thermal energy of a substance is affected both by its mass and by its temperature. Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object.

Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup. It will release more thermal energy to the surroundings compared to the cup of boiling water.
