when a cold object is touched state whether the heat energy flows from the person's hand to the object or the object to the person's hand and why is it so?
Heat always flows from hot to cold. Cold is the absence of heat.
What is the energy that flows from a warmer body to a colder body?
No, thermal energy always transfers from a relatively hot object to a relatively cold object. This is because, when heated, atoms have more kinetic energy, and they pass this down to the "colder" particles, which have a lesser degree of kinetic energy.
Is the energy that flows from a hot object to a cold object it is in contact with is called kinetic energy?
No. It is called thermal energy.
Does thermal energy always travel from cooler to warmer objects?
Well the predictable pattern is when the warmer object always flows energy to the cooler until they both are the same temp
In what direction will heat flow between two objects with different temperatures?
From the warmer object to the colder one. page 482 in the textbook, under the soup!

When you touch a cold object state whether heat energy flows from the object to your Hand or from your hand to the object?
Heat has the natural tendency to flow from a warmer to a colder object. If your hand is warmer than the "cold object", then heat will flow from your hand to that object.

Is heat energy transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?
No, heat ALWAYS travels from hot to cold. It is not actual heat moving, it is energy. The more energy something has, the warmer it feels. For example, when you touch a metal railing on a winter day, it feels cold. That is because your hand has more energy than the rail. The energy from your hand is traveling into the railing to equalize the energy (moving towards equilibrium. The loss of energy in your hand is what gives you the "cold" feeling. Heat/energy NEVER moves from cold to hot.
Why does heat energy flow from warm areas to cooler areas?
Nature always tries to come to an state of equilibrium. Water flows from a higher to a lower level. Electricity flows from a higher potential to a lower potential. Thus heat is transferred from a warmer to a colder area until an equilibrium is reached.
Can cold energy be transferred to an object?
no, cold energy cannot be transferred into an object because you need heat in order to form an object for the celcuims
Which way does heat transfer?
Heat always flows from a hotter object to a colder one. So: Heat 'transfers' from 'hot' to 'cold' (cold being a relative term and considered an absence of heat).
Why an object losses heat?
An object loses heat because all warmth flows into colder objects. For example, if you are holding a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter day the heat of the cocoa will go into your cold hands. This is an example of thermal energy.
What happens when you bring a hot and cold object together?
If there is any kind of conducting path, then heat energy flows from the hot object to the cold object, until their temperatures are equal. (The final temperature is not necessarily ... in fact in general it's rarely ... midway between the two initial temperatures.)
