Could the lines have been switched over? body tempreature can also have an affect how you interpret the tempreature of water.
This is due to the phenomenon known as contrast effect. When you first put your hands in cold and hot water, your nerves respond to the extreme temperatures. When you move them to the lukewarm water, the hand that was in the cold water will perceive the water as hot because of the contrast in temperatures.
The hot water on your skin opens your pores, and makes you sweat. The sweat evaporates, taking body heat away - making you feel cold. When your body is cold - you shiver.
When you get hot, if you drink cold water it will make you feel good.
Hot water may feel cold when it first comes out of the tap because the pipes carrying the water may be cold, causing the water temperature to drop before reaching the faucet.
When you drink cold water, your body may feel hot because the cold temperature of the water causes your blood vessels to constrict. This can lead to a temporary increase in body temperature as your body works to regulate its internal temperature.
Water absorbs heat from its surrounding as it evaporates.
The sense of temperature in your fingers would help you feel that.
Not all sensitivity is the same; if the skin has been burned it will feel better in cold water, and it is has been frostbitten, it will feel better in hot water. Too much heat or too much cold is going to be painful. Try mildly warm water instead.
No, cold water is not hot. Cold water is at a lower temperature than hot water.
the explanation for this is to d with the latent heat of water.
There is one bowl of hot water and one bowl of cold water and one bowl of warm water. You place one hand in the hot and one hand in the cold for approx. 30 seconds and then place your hands in the warm water and that hand that was in the hot water will feel cold and the hand that was in the cold water will feel hot. This is because the nerves have gotten used to the temperature and therefore have to adjust again to return to normal. Thanks! That helps a lot! I knew I had done it before but I couldn't remember what it was!
because when you get out of the baths of hot water its a bigger change in temp rather than after you get out of one with a cold water than the temp in te house will be warmer than ur bath
