Question

Imagine a cat is licking an ice cream cone. Draw a picture, then on the picture, draw the direction of heat transfer between the cat and the ice cream and explain why the heat moves in this way. Describe what the cat will feel.

Answer 1

The direction of the movement of heat would be from the cat to the ice cream.

Heat from the cat's tongue and mouth is transferred to the colder ice cream when it licks it. A thin layer of liquid forms on the ice cream's surface as a result of this heat transfer.

As the heat is transferred from the cat's tongue to the ice cream, the cat may experience a feeling of coldness. While the cat may find this feeling revitalizing, it's vital to remember that excessive cold can cause discomfort in animals.
