The cake contains a lot of trapped air and other materials with much higher specific heats. These objects lose heat slowly, allowing more time before your finger has absorbed enou ...

... (The kinetic energy is equal to one-half the product of the mass (in kg) and the velocity (in m/s)2.) 2- According to the first law of thermodynamics, a) the amount of work done during a change is independent of the pathway of that change. b) the entropy of a pure, crystalline substance at absolute ...
