What would happen if you touched an object that is the same temperature as your hand? Would any heat transfer happen? Explain your answer in 4-5 sentences.

Answers

Answer:

It actually depends.

Explanation:

in the case of a metal ur hand will absorb the heat (but it depends on the temperature, this ans favours hot and cold but not neutral or room temperature), in the case of human to human I think no heat transfer will take place, in the case of liquids(for hot temperature ,it would even for cold but not room).

It basically involves application

Go around your house and hit (or tap) ten different objects. The objects should be different shapes and made of different material (choose things to hit that won’t break!). Each object is a different medium for sound. Try to hit each using the same amount of energy. Describe each object that you hit. What is its shape and what is it made of? Then describe how it sounds to you. Does it transmit sound well? Does it absorb sound? Is the sound loud or soft? Is there a “ring” to the sound? Does it sound like a “thunk” or does it sound like a drum? Rank the ten objects from loudest to softest. Draw some conclusions based on your results from Steps 1 and 2. For example, are there a certain shapes or materials that are better or worse media for sound travel?

Door, window, picture, floor,stairs, wall, desk, backpack, paper, bed all of these produce different sound.

What do you mean by sound?

The term sound is defined as an acoustic wave is a vibration that travels through a gas, liquid, or solid transmission medium. In terms of human physiology and psychology, sound is the brain's receipt of these waves and perception of them.

A mechanical disturbance that causes an equilibrium condition to be disturbed and propagates by an elastic material medium.

The vibration of an object creates sound, which travels from one place to another by a medium. Vibration is the phrase used to explain an object's to-and-fro or back-and-forth motion. Vibrations are generated by objects in motion.

Therefore, stairs, wall, door, window, picture, floor, desk, backpack, paper, bed all of these produce different sound.
