SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The carpet or the rug is able to absorb the heat better than the tile floor. It is like when water heats up very quickly, but a metal pan is able to heat up more quickly. That is why the tile floor feels colder to your bare feet than a rug does even though they are the same temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tile feels colder because it is a good heat conductor and it moves heat rapidly away from your skin that is warmer than air temperature. The rug would be a heat insulator. The rug slows down the flow of the heat which would make it feel warm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both objects are the same temperature, but the tile floor is a good heat conductor as it moves heat rapidly away from the skin, which is warmer than air temperature. The rug is a good heat insulator (poor heat conductor) in that it impedes the flow of heat and so feels comparatively warm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The marble floor which transmits heat energy easily feels colder and the carpet floor which does not allow heat to transmit feels warmer.
