Question

This is for a Science class

Do the following exercises:

With your bare feet, stand with one foot on a rug, and the other foot on a tile, linoleum, or wood floor. Which one feels colder? Which one is really colder? Explain what is going on in a paragraph.

For this exercise, you will need:

two ice cubes

a metal pie or cake pan

a ceramic plate

a paper towel
Place one ice cube on the metal pan, and the other on the plate with the folded paper towel under it. Leave them both at room temperature, and observe which one melts faster. Explain your results in a paragraph

Answer 2

Hey there sweetsgibbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercise 1:

When standing with one foot on a rug and the other foot on a tile, linoleum, or wood floor, the foot on the tile, linoleum, or wood floor usually feels colder. However, the temperature of both surfaces is the same. This is because materials have different abilities to conduct heat, which affects the rate at which heat is transferred from the body to the material. Tile, linoleum, and wood are better conductors of heat than rugs, which means they transfer heat away from the body more quickly, giving the sensation of being colder. The rug, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of heat and insulates the foot, reducing the rate of heat transfer and giving the sensation of being warmer.

Exercise 2:

When placing one ice cube on a metal pan and the other on a plate with a folded paper towel under it, the ice cube on the metal pan usually melts faster. This is because metals are better conductors of heat than ceramics, which means they transfer heat away from the ice cube more quickly. The paper towel underneath the ice cube on the plate may also absorb some of the water as it melts, which can slow down the melting process slightly.
