Question

Which one would cool down faster, water or a block of concrete? why?

Answer 1

Answer:

If you mean by temperature

Water, cause say the water just sits there, it'll take a few minutes to cool down. But for concrete having all the hot sun rays on it during summer, can make it very hot, if you put 'cold water' there, it'll only last there for a moments (and that's by effect not waiting), if you wait for it to cooldown by itself, it'll take quite awhile.

If you mean solidify:

The stuff required to make concretes takes HOURS and HOURS to finish solidifying, unlike water being turn into ice normally only takes about half an hour or an hour (maybe 2) in the freezer (I don't know how long for ice, but not long at all in comparison to concrete).
