What is heat and why do some thing things feel hotter than others?

Heat is the average kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the atomic or molecular constituents of the substance in question. On the sub-microscopic scale, everything vibrates, and the faster the vibration, the higher the temperature. If you have two objects of the same temperature but one feels hotter than the other, it is because the one that feels hotter is a better conductor of heat. If the heat flows faster, the object will feel hotter.


A marble floor feels hotter in summer than a carpeted floor why?

A marble floor feels hotter in summer than a carpeted floor because marble conducts heat. Since the heat gets trapped, it travels to the rest of floor raising the temperature. Carpet does not conduct much heat due to tiny holes that allow air ventilation.

When an object is in motion in a circle what is the force that the object feels pushing it towards the outside of the circle?

This is one of the common misconception of early physics. There is no force pushing the object to the outside of the circle. The object (like all objects) wishes to remain in linear motion (Newtons first law). What is happening is 'there is a force accelerating the object towards the center of the circle. Now there have been names applied to the imaginary force that pushes object to the outside: Centrifugal acceleration.
