Explain why one feels colder when walking on a concrete floor than on a wooden carpet

Explain why one feels colder when walking on a concrete floor than on a wooden carpet.

Answers

Andrew
With reference to thermal conductivity, which is the measure of the rate of heat flow through a material subjected to a temperature gradient, a concrete floor has a much higher thermal conductivity hence more heat is absorbed form the leg to make one feel colder. Wooden carpet has a lower thermal conductivity and less or no heat is absorbed from the leg.
