Why your hands feel warm when you hold a cup of hot cocoaa?

When you hold a cup of hot cocoa, your hands absorb the heat from the warm liquid through the cup. This increases the temperature of your hands, making them feel warm. Heat transfer occurs from the hot cocoa to your hands until they reach thermal equilibrium, balancing out the temperature difference.


Why do hot packs and cold packs eventually return to room temperature?

Hot packs and cold packs eventually return to room temperature because of the process of thermal equilibrium. This means that the packs exchange heat with their surroundings until they reach a balanced temperature. Heat flows from the hotter pack to the cooler room, or vice versa, until both reach the same temperature.


Calculate the final temperature when 50 ml of water at 80?

When allowed to stand for long enough, the final temperature will reach room temperature.


When you put your hands in the water at he room temperature why do you not feel cold?

If the water is room temperature, meaning the same temperature as the air, then you wouldn't feel a change in temperature. On the other hand, If there was a breeze or the air was otherwise in motion, it might increase evaporation of skin moisture and have a cooling effect. In that situation, putting your hands into the water might make them feel warmer.


Would substances with high specific heat capacity also have high temperatures?

Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy or heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one kelvin. So if the specific heat capacity is high then you would require more energy or heat to raise its temperature. The specific heat capacity does not really have anything to do with how much you can increase an objects temperature. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENERGY NEEDED TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE.

Temperature is defined as?

the level of heat


Does the difference in the level of heat between two substances determine the heat transfer rate between the substances?

Yes, the greater the difference in temperature between two substances, the faster heat transfer will occur between them. This is because heat naturally flows from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature in an attempt to reach equilibrium.


When do things stop losing heat?

When they reach ambient temperature.


What Happens when you heat up a thermometer with your hands?

If you hold a thermometer close to you it will start to heat up. Your body temperature will start affecting it and the heat reading on it should start to rise. Once you pull it away from you (depending on the temperate of where you are) it should start to cool off again.


Does heat travel from warm to cool or cool to warm?

Heat always flows from a warm object to a cooler object in order to reach thermal equilibrium. This means that heat will move from a higher temperature to a lower temperature until both reach the same temperature.


Does it mean that heat will not be transferred if the temperature of the two objects is the same?

It means that the temperature of both objects have reached an Equilibrium, and is said to be balanced. Therefore, there is nothing to transfer. Any difference in the temperatures will level out.


Warming your hands in front of a campfire is what type of heat transfer?

Warming your hands in front of a campfire is an example of heat transfer through radiation. Heat energy is emitted from the campfire in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by your hands, increasing their temperature.


When you have two objects of different temperature in which direction does heat flow between them?

Heat will flow from the object with higher temperature to the one with lower temperature until they reach thermal equilibrium.


What is heat that transfers to your hands when you touch a hot object?

That is thermal energy transferring from the hot object to your hands, causing a sensation of heat. It occurs due to the difference in temperature between your hands and the object, resulting in heat transfer through conduction.


Is heat attracted to cold?

Heat is not attracted to cold. Heat is a form of energy that moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature in order to reach equilibrium. Cold is simply the absence of heat.


When two bodies are on contact heat flows from the hotter body to the colder body when does heat stop flowing?

Heat will stop flowing between the two bodies when they reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they both reach the same temperature. At this point, there is no longer a temperature difference driving the heat transfer, so no more heat will flow between them.
