Is 2 degrees Celsius cold?

When 2 cups of hot chocolate, one at 55 degrees Celsius and the other at 60 degrees celsius...?

  • When 2 cups of hot chocolate, one at 55 degrees Celsius and the other at 60 degrees Celsius, are poured in a bowl, why will the temperature of the mixture be between 55 degrees celsius and 60 degrees celsius?

  • Answer:

    temperature is the intensity of heat or thermal energy possessed by the matter. As height above ground vies an intensity of potential energy, but not the measure of it (mgh), similarly temperature does the same (m c delta t) to heat content. on mixing, the mixture facilitates the normalisation of heat contents, and allows the mixture to aquires most plausible "new intensity" (temp) if final temp is (t) hotter body will lose heat to this new level = colder body gaining heat to the same level m c (60 - t) = m c (t - 55) 2 t = 55+60 t = (55+60)/2 = average indicates that (t) will be in between mentioned temps.
