Hey. If i jump out of a swimming pool, into a breeze, i feel cold.
Is this because the breeze is moving the more moist air away from my body, allowing more evaporation to occur, cooling the water, and since two substances of different temperatures naturally want to equalize in temperature, heat is transferred from my body to the water, thus making me feel cooler?
Is that theory correct? or am i completely on the wrong track? also, what other factors contribute to my cooling after jumping out of the pool?
Im just trying to fully understand these concepts in physics, since it is the subject i am struggling the most in at the moment.
Thanks,
Dan.
