    When you come out of a river after a dip, you feel cold. Explain.
    Ans : After a dip in the river, the water that sticks to our body gets evaporated. We know that evaporation takes place faster for higher temperatures. Thus, the molecules that have the highest kinetic energy leave faster and that is how heat is given away from our body.
    As a result of it, temperature of our body falls down due to loss of heat and we feel cold.
