5 Why does a concrete floor feel colder than one covered with carpet even when at same temperature?
The reason a concrete floor feels colder than a carpeted floor is because the carpet acts as an insulator to trap heat. The concrete on the other hand will stay cold way longer once it is cold.
When you are rubbing your hands together can you push harder on one hand than the other?

How can your body lose heat by conduction?
When you touch something that is colder than your body temperature, the heat from your body will transfer to the colder item. The temperature of your body and the item you touched tries to equalize. The perfect example of this is when you sit on one end of a couch for a while. When you get up and put one hand on the area where you sat and the other hand on an area where you did not sit you will feel difference in warmth between the two places. The hand that is on the place where you sat should feel warmer than the hand where you did not sit. This is also why when you sit on cement or a rock that has been in the shade you will start to feel much cooler.

Why a piece of metal feels colder than wood kept in cold place?
Lets say room temp is 75 degrees. Your body temp is around 98 degrees. metal conducts heat very well so when you touch it all the heat is transferred to the metal whereas wood is more insulating and the heat from your finger leaves at a much slower rate. Also, there is also a difference in emissivity between the two materials. They radiate energy differently. The metal object not only feels colder in the room (or hotter in the sun), it really is a different temperature. Wiki/Google "emissivity." Metal is a thermal conductor and Wood is a thermal insulator. When you touch the metal, the energy transfers rapidly to the metal, making it colder. When you touch the wood, the energy transfers very slowly from your hand to the wood.
