Wikipedia is ice hot or cold?

Ice is neither hot or cold. Technically, nothing is cold. Everythin is based on energy. The more energy something has, the more "heat" it puts off. Ice feels cold against our skin because it has less energy than we do.


What happens to hot and cold objects when they brought together?

If heat can flow between them, then heat flows from the hot one to the cold one. The temperature of the hot object falls, and the temperature of the cold object rises. What drives the transfer of heat is the difference in temperature, so as soon as both objects are at the same temperature, the process stops, and no more heat is transferred.


Why do cold objects have heat energy?

A warm object has more energy that a cold object and we call that heat energy. More heat energy corresponds to more energy of the constituent particles (atoms and molecules.) The energy of constituent particles is both kinetic and potential. Boltzmann was a physicist studying heat and thermodynamics about 150 years ago and we know from his work that the temperature of a system is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the system. It is thus correct to say that warm objects have particles with more kinetic energy. (We more often say that the warm object has more heat energy energy because the heat energy accounts for both increased potential energy of molecules and thier increased kinetic energy.)


Why does ice melt faster on black than white paper?

black absorbs heat, giving it more heat to melt the ice


Why is cold just the absence of heat?

"Cold" is a relative term, like "high" or "fast". It does exist as a qualitative term but only for comparison. It doesn't exist as a concrete object.

Why is it cold when there are less people and warm when there are more people?

our bodies always releases heat. so, when there are less people in a room, there bodies release less heat and we feel cold but when there are more people in a room there bodies release more heat and we feel warm.
