When the human body becomes cold shivering begins. Also, goosebumps develop in an attempt to keep heat in the body.

What does a thermometer tell you?

A thermometer measures temperature. It tells you how hot or cold something is by showing a numerical value on a scale.


Why does heat flow from a hot to cold body?

Heat flows from hot to cold because when hot and cold bodies contact with each other (thermal contact), the fast moving molecules of the hot body collide with slow moving molecules of the cold body; therefore the molecules of hot body become slower and body becomes cool, and the molecules of other body (cold) becomes faster and the cold body becomes hot. Notice: when molecules of a body moves faster it's kinetic energy increase therefore temperature increases and it becomes hot.

How fast body lose heat in cold water?

The rate at which the body loses heat in cold water depends on factors like water temperature, body composition, and level of physical activity. Generally, the body loses heat much faster in cold water compared to cold air, as water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air. Hypothermia can occur in cold water in as little as 15 minutes.

How will the body return to equilibrium after being exposed to a change in temperature?

The body has two ways of achieving temperature equilibrium. If it is too cold, it will start shivering to increase blood flow; if too hot, it will sweat so that the perspiration can evaporate. Of course, the body also contains a brain, which may tell the body to get out of the cold or into the shade. A nice warm fire or an air conditioner works wonders.
