Answer:

According to II law of thermodynamics the heat always transfers from high temperature to low temperature body without aid of any external energy. So, according to this law the heat transfers from cup of coffee to the person body until both bodies reaches to the equilibrium state.

After attaining the equilibrium state, the heat transfer may be ceases between the bodies.

Whenever the person touches the hot coffee, he senses the heat that means the heat is transferring in to his body.

A chunk of paraffin (wax) has a mass of 50.4 grams and a volume of 57.9 cm3. What is the density of

tatiyna

Density = (mass) / (volume)

= (50.4) / (57.9) = 0.87 gm/cm³

Since the density is less than 1.0, the paraffin floats in water.

Since it's so close to 1.0 on the low side, the paraffin floats
with most of it under the water line.
