Problem 3RQ

Explain why a firewalker can step quickly without harm on red-hot coals with bare feet.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1 of 3

Solution 3RQ Coal is made of wood and the latter is an insulator or bad conductor of heat. Therefore, even when coal is red-hot it is unable to transfer heat to human body because of its insulator nature. This is the reason why a firewalker can step quickly on red-hot coal with bare feet.
