Question
Miya Balishtiye was confused when he saw the woodcutter blowing on his cold hands to make them warm and on the hot potatoes to cool them.
- Now put your hands at some distance from your mouth, and blow again. Does the air from your mouth feel warm? Why?
Solution
When the hands are placed at some distance from the mouth and the air is blown again, this time the air from the mouth does not feel much warmer. This is because, due to the distance from the mouth, the air gets mixed up with outside air and thus becomes cooler.
