Ice Cubes And High Temperature Object

IMAGE GOES HERE

Image Source

Most people have held ice cubes in their hands. What happens to an ice cube that we hold? What do we feel? After a while, our hands will feel cold as the ice cubes start to melt. This is due to the transfer of energy from our hands to the ice and the temperature difference between the two objects. The energy we are familiar with is called heat while temperature is the measure of a degree of heat or coldness of an object.

In everyday life, heat or cold is commonly used to explain the degree of temperature of an object. An object that is said to be hot means it has a high temperature. Similarly, when an object is said to be cold, is means it is has a low temperature.

Why does heat move from our hands to ice cubes and not vice versa? This is due to the heat transfer from a high temperature (hand) to a low temperature object (ice cubes). As our hands come into contact with the cooler ice cubes, our hands will experience a temperature drop and begin to cool down. Ice cubes will experience an increase in temperature so that it melts. This process occurs until the temperature of both touching objects feel the same temperature.

Can this process occur naturally? What is the relationship between temperature and heat? To find out the answer, let's do the following experiment:

The water is not Hot and not Cold anymore

Heat moves from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object. This means that heat can change the temperature of the object. To see how heat can affect the temperature of an object, we do the following experiment.

    * Remember that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. This means that the addition of heat to a solid causes the vibration of the particles to increase more and more as the temperature of the solid increases. This increase in vibration will continue until, at a certain temperature, the vibrations are rapid enough to break up the fixed arrangement of particles. At this point a solid will begin to melt into a liquid.…

    After conducting my experiment, the results have led me to the conclusion that the ice water cooled the soda the fastest. This happened because the melting ice uses energy. Though water that is in the process of freezing gives off energy, melting ice cubes absorb energy. This means that when the ice is melting, it is absorbing energy from the soda, therefore causing it to lose energy and make its molecules slow down and freeze. This is why the soda cooled the fastest in the ice water; its energy was decreasing. In the refrigerator, the soda was just sitting in cold air. The same thing happened with the freezer. In the bucket of ice, nothing was making the ice melt quickly so it wasn’t using a lot of energy. This is why the ice water cooled…

    The lego piece for instance, rather than be in the dawn dish soap, with increased temperature, it might hover in the layer of the water. The water would increase in density, making the lego not sink further than it did originally. Rather than increase 35°C, if the classroom decreased in 5°C the results would be the opposite of if heat was added. If a substance is exposed to a cooler temperature the particles would vibrate at a slow rate, and be closely packed together. Indicating the density and the volume of the fluids would decrease, no longer having the large amount of space between each particle.…

    Imagine the particles in the hot water are moving, but there is not a lot of particles in that pot of water. Then imagine an iceberg that has a lot of particles that are moving at a much slower rate, but what’s more average speed moving particles or a massive amount of below average speed moving particles. Remember that we are not saying that the iceberg is warmer than the pot of water, but the iceberg has more heat. So yes an Iceberg can have more heat energy than a pot of hot water.…

    Heat and Temperature

    Heat is often described by the average individual as being the change in temperature from hot to cold. “Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same, but they are not.” Heat and Temperature, para. 2) Perhaps the reasoning behind the incorrect reasoning is that humans associate the two together because when heat is applied to an object the temperature rises. The kinetic theory of matter better explains the underlying cause as to what takes place when heat is being examined. To examine the heat capacity of a substance various properties exist, along with different forms of heat. When thought about, everyone has been exposed to heat in some type of way but never even question what has to happen in order to encounter that sensation.…
