Physics ques..?

Question

marks walks into an air-conditioned room bare-footed. he steps from the marble floor onto the carpet and his feet warmer. why does he feel warmer on the carpet than on the marble floor?

Answer 1

the cold air was absorbed by the carpet.

Answer 2

The carpet is an insulator, so the heat being emitted from his feet is not conducted away and so the carpet feels warm , unlike the marble which is a good conductor. The heat from his feet is conducted rapidly away from his feet by the marble so it feels cold.

Answer 3

Heat transfer occurs by several ways out of which conduction is most significant.  Marble being a better conductor draws heat from the feet of the person when it is at a lower temperature than the body. although carpet is also at the same temperature as the marble (being in the same air conditioned room), it being a comparatively bad conductor does not draw away the heat from Mark's body. Had he touched a metal part or stepped on to a metal sheet he would have felt colder still.  The answer given by cunny is also similar to my answer.

Answer 4

marble floor is a conductor and carpet is an insulator.
