Problem 18E
Why is it incorrect to say that, when a hot object warms a cold object, temperature flows between them?
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 18E Step 1: Temperature is the degree of heat present in a substance. So, we cannot say temperature is flowing between a hot object and cold object. Actually, heat is flowing between a hot object and cold object. In fact, a hot object warms a cold object due to the heat flow between them. Conclusion: The hot object warms a cold object due to the heat flow between them not because of the temperature flow between them.
