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.
What else can I help you with?
Why does water feel cooler than air at the same temperature?
Water has a higher thermal conductivity compared to air, which means it can absorb or release heat more efficiently. When water comes in contact with our skin, it conducts heat away from our body faster than air, making it feel cooler even if both are at the same temperature. Additionally, water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, which means it can absorb more heat energy before its temperature increases, contributing to the sensation of coolness.
How your hands will feel when you place them in the container of room temperature water?
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!
What best describes the relationship between heat and temperature heat and temperature are the same thing heat changes temperature heat is a measure of temperature or temperature measures?
Heat and temperature are related but not the same thing. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while heat is the transfer of energy between objects due to a temperature difference. Heat can change the temperature of an object by transferring energy to it.
How might our body temperature be affected if water didn't have the high specific heat that it does?
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.
Will the same mass of iron and water require the same amount of heat to increase their temperature the same number of degrees?
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.
Is the heat index the same as the real feel temperature?
No, the heat index and real feel temperature are not the same. The heat index takes into account both temperature and humidity to calculate how hot it feels, while the real feel temperature considers factors like wind and sun exposure in addition to temperature.
Is the real feel the same as the heat index?
Yes, the real feel and the heat index are essentially the same thing. They both refer to how hot it feels to the human body when factors like temperature, humidity, and wind are taken into account.
Why is your body temperature not the same as room temperature?
because you would not be able to radiate heat out of your body
Is the heat index the same as temperature?
No, the heat index is not the same as temperature. The heat index takes into account both temperature and humidity to determine how hot it feels to the human body.
Can heat transfer from one object to with the same temperature?
This is not possible. Heat always move from a body of high temperature to a body of low temperature.
Why does when you first step out of the shower you feel cold but as you are dry you feel warmer even though the room temperature does not change?
When you step out of the shower, your wet skin evaporates water, which absorbs heat from your body, making you feel cold. As you dry off, less water evaporates, so less heat is lost, causing you to feel warmer. Even though the room temperature remains the same, your body's heat loss changes due to the wetness of your skin.
Where can you find some examples of equilibrium?
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.
Can two body at same temperature have different heat?
Yes, two bodies at the same temperature can have different amounts of heat because heat is a measure of the total thermal energy contained within an object. The amount of heat a body has depends on its mass and specific heat capacity, regardless of its temperature.
What happens when two bodies having same temperature come in a contact?
When two bodies at the same temperature come into contact, there will be no transfer of heat between them, as there is no temperature difference to drive the heat transfer. The bodies will remain at the same temperature before and after contact.
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.
What are the factors upon which the amount of heat contained in a body depends?
The amount of heat contained in a body depends on its mass, temperature, and specific heat capacity. The more massive a body is, the more heat it can store for the same temperature change. Additionally, materials with a higher specific heat capacity require more heat to raise their temperature.
How does blood control body temperature?
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.
