Your body keeps its temperature when you're hot because of sweat. It keeps your body temperature cool even if you feel hot. People who don't sweat have to be really careful when they do anything physical or are in the heat. Some of them even have to wear special cooling suits.
Body temperature is regulated by an intricate system called homeostasis. If the external (outside) temperature is hotter or colder than our body then various things come into play to maintain our body heat. If you put your hand into room temperature water (room temperature is generally accepted to be 20 degrees C) then it will feel cold, because body temp is about 37 degrees C. The water will absorb heat energy from your hand, making it feel cold, until the temperature of the water and the temperature of your hand are the same. Or until you decide that shoving your hand in cool water is pointless...If you put your hand into water that is at 37 degrees C then you won't notice any temperature difference. It just feels wet. It's really weird, try it!
The flow of heat in and out of an object changes its temperature.
If the water had lower specific heat capacity than the body temperature would be higher as less energy would be required to increase the temperature by 1 degree celsius but seeing that the hypothalamus is responsible for keeping the temperature regulated, The average temperature would remain same as the current body temperature favours a lot of enzyme activity as well.
Evaporation of water is a process with heat absorption.
No, no. Of course not. The amount of heat Q required to increase the temperature of a body of mass m having specific heat capacity c through DO degrees celsius is given by: Q = mcDO Thus, the one with the higher specific heat capacity will require more heat energy.
This is not possible. Heat always move from a body of high temperature to a body of low temperature.
because you would not be able to radiate heat out of your body
Since heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature region so when a hotter body comes in contect with colder body then hotter body loses heat to colder body until both have same temperature.
in case of transfer of heat. the heat is transferred from a body at higher temperature to the body at lower temperature. the heat is transferred till the time the temperature of both the bodies becomes same.
When a body is at the same temperature as its surroundings there will be no more transfer of heat.
When the temperature of each body is the same.
Yes. Heat is energy temperature is not, E1 =k1T and E2 = k2T the temperatures are the same but the heat is different because K1 is different from k2.
Glass is a relatively bad insulator of heat. If you touch a piece of glass that is colder than your body temperature, it will feel cold, because it will conduct away your body heat; but touch a piece of wood, even if the wood is at the same temperature as the glass, and it would feel warmer because it is a good insulator of heat. Wool is even better.
Blood is in continuous circulation throughout the body. It allows the equal distribution of heat simply by heat exchange. Thus, all parts of body attain the same temperature.
Heat will flow from the body with the highest temperature to the lowest temperature body until the temperatures are the same.
Heat is conducted form the high temperature body to the low temperature body until their temperatures are the same.
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. Heat is energy but temperature is outcome of storage of such heat energy in a body. If same amount of heat is given to the same mass of water and aluminium, then temperature will be more in aluminium but less in water. This is similar to the collecting air in different containers. Air is equivalent to heat and pressure created is equivalent to temperature.
