Heat is molecular vibration and can be transfer through eonduction, convection and radiation. Different object had different heat capacity and conduction. We human sense if it is hot or cold from whether we gain or loss heat. In a cold room, walking on cold carpet is still warm because we do not loss much heat to carpet but if we walk on stone or concrete, we loss heat rapidly and we feel it is cloder than carpet even it is at the same temperature.
When a chemical substance like ether is applied to your skin, it evaporates quickly, which absorbs heat from your skin in the process. This rapid evaporation causes the skin to feel cold as it loses heat to the surrounding environment.
Sort of. In terms of physics, technically there is no such thing as cold. There is only heat, which is than measured on a scale to show how much heat is present. Heat will always transfer to something that has less heat than its present location. So technically no, cold does not absorb heat because cold is a perspective and not something that actually exists.. However, things that have less heat do absorb heat from things with more heat than itself. Cold is an abstract non physics word used to describe things with small amounts of heat, while in reality there is technically at least some measurable amount of heat if compared to true absolute 0 heat.
In a chemical ice pack you have to break some sort of seal so that two chemicals react. The chemicals that are used are chosen because when mixed they create an endothermic reaction causing it to feel cold
Some substances conduct heat better than others. Things like stone, granite and steel tend to feel cold because they conduct heat away from a bare foot faster and better than, for example, wood or plastic. This is because their particles are more densely packed and hence conduct heat faster. Hence the stone floor feels cold to bare foot( which gives off body heat) as the body heat from the foot will be conducted away quickly. Another reason is due to that feature(conducting heat away quickly for example, from the sun) of the stone floor and the fact that our body produce body heat, it will usually be colder than you body.
When you step out of the shower, the water on your skin begins to evaporate. Evaporation is a cooling process, and as the water evaporates, it takes some of your body heat with it, making you feel cold. Your skin is also wet, which can enhance the chilling effect of the air in the room.

The cold tap water may feel warm initially due to the pipes being exposed to heat sources, such as the sun or a nearby heater. This can cause the water in the pipes to absorb some of the heat, making it feel warmer when first turned on.
False. Some objects do have heat, but are not always warm. For example, Jupiter has heat but it is not always warm because it doesn't always have direct sunlight from the Sun.

feels cold because it is the release of heat
Ethanol feels cold when applied to the skin because it evaporates quickly, absorbing heat from the skin in the process. This rapid evaporation leads to a cooling sensation on the skin, similar to how rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer may feel cold upon application.

this is because of inert gases present in perfume
YES! living things can't be cold or they might freeze to death, yet they can't have too much, either.

cool, cold, freeze
