1. Two students discuss why a metal chair feels colder than other objects in the room. Student
1: Since feeling cold is just about the temperature, the metal chair must have a lower temperature than anything else in the room. That's why it feels colder. Student
2: Feeling cold isn't just about temperature, it's about how quickly you're losing heat. If the chair feels colder, it must be taking your heat faster. Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain your reasoning.
2. When you first step outside on a cold day, your skin is 70° F (21 C). After you've been outside for a while, your skin cools to a temperature of 60° F (16 C). Use this fact to explain why you feel less cold after you've been outside for a while.
3. This problem will help you understand why the wind blowing makes you feel colder, especially in the winter. You are outside on a cold day. The air temperature overall is around 5° C; assume your skin temperature is 16° C

- Kinetic Energy and Temperature: We will construct the algebraic relationship between kinetic energy and temperature for a gas from the ideal gas law, PV=NkT where P = pressure, V = volume, N = number of particles, k is Boltzmann’s constant, and T is temperature. Recalling that pressure can be expressed as P=F/A,where F = force and A = area, rewrite the ideal gas law in terms of Newton’s Second Law of motion in order to relate kinetic energy to temperature using dimensional analysis. (HINT: keep in mind the definitions of the kinematic variables and .
