Experiments
are ways to discover the facts firsthand.
The above query is an example of a question from a science experiment
focusing on energy. Hence, to answer this accurately, it must be executed.
Nevertheless, when you dip your finger
into the water, what has been transferred
is heat. Heat is the transfer of energy from one body or system to another.
Its flow or direction is always from the one with a higher temperature (hotter)
to the one with a lower temperature (colder). Hence, in the question above “in what direction did it transfer?”, my
answer is it depends on which has object has the higher temperature and which
has the lower temperature. If the water is hot or hotter than your finger when
you dip it into the water, the
direction of heat transfer will be from the water to your finger. On the other
hand, if the water is cold or colder than the skin of your finger, you will
transfer heat towards the water. Thermometer
can be used in order to determine the temperature of the water and your
finger/body. Remember, heat is transferred when there are differences in the temperatures
of two or more systems. When heat is absorbed by one object, its temperature
increases. This will continue until thermal equilibrium has been reached by the objects.
