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.
Why do some people feel hotter than others at the same temperature?
Because they are hot. Because they have something wrong with their body. Because some people are used to the temperature.
Why do your feet feel cooler not hotter when you put them in water?
Because the water is generally a lower temperature than your feet (usually 37 degrees C)
Explain how energy moves when you touch a block of ice with your hand?
Despite what it may feel like when your spouse puts his/her feet into your back in bed at night, human skin is warmer than ice. Because of the difference in temperature, thermal energy is transferred as heat from the warmer object (your hand) to the cooler object (the ice) via conduction.
Why heat transfer to metal objects?
Heat transfers to, and from, any object, not just metal object. Metals in general are very good conductors of heat; as a result, you might feel the temperature more easily when you touch a metal object. If you get burned more easily by a metal object than by a wooden object, for example, both at the same temperature, this is a direct result of heat conduction.

When you touch something hot do you get burned from the rapid movement of the molecules causing friction or what?
Heat naturally flows from a hot substance to a cool substance. So whatever object you touch is obviously hotter than your hand. It is because of this temperature difference in your hand and the object that causes the flow of heat from the object into your hand. You feel this flow of heat as a burn.

Why does they metal pan feel much hotter than the wooden handle?
Metal transfers heat better than cake, which is what make you feel more of the temperature.
Does it feel hotter in high altitudes?
Just returned from Mexico City. While temperature was around 75 to 80 degrees it seemed about 15 degrees warmer. So, yes it does seem hotter in higher altitudes. Steve

Why is the temperature near the window hotter during the summer?
well, during the summer in the north it is warmer. if you do not have thermal-pane windows then it will feel warm or cold depending on the outside temperature. solution to problem: thermal pane windows.
Why does the air inside the shower feel warm as the water vapor condenses?
It condenses because heat moves from high to low concentrations. The temperature of the water is generally hotter than the temperature of the bathroom. Therefore, the hotter water heats up the cooler bathroom air. -The pine lake prep chemistry meister strikes again!
How can you tell if your radiator is clogged?
it won't work properly and if you feel the pipe it would be hotter than normal in one place and not so hot in another.

If the other persons body temperature is the same as yours 98 point 6 F how can that person keep you warm and For that matter how do blankets keep you warm?
The other person warms you because their temperature is warmer than the air around you. A 98.6 degree F object will feel warm to you unless you are in conditions hotter than your body temperature. Blankets warm you because they trap the heat radiating off your body, which warms the air in between the blanket and yourself.
Which is warmer - tepid or hot water?
Hot Water Is Hotter Than Tepid Water Because Tepid water is at body temperature, so should not feel either hot or cold when it touches your skin.hot water
