Thermodynamics is one of the branches in physics concerned with the relationship between other forms of energy and how thermal energy is changed to other forms of life. Also, thermal energy can be said to be the energy of vibrating molecules. Thermodynamics has different laws that govern it. Here we will look at the 2nd law, which states that thermal energy cannot be moved from one state of matter, which has a low temperature to another point with a higher temperature, and that to occur, more heat energy is required for the process to take place. Due to this law, I can say that my aunt Mabel Is wrong because when we look at the conductivity of both the tiles and the wood, we see that the tile floor cannot be colder than the wood floor. Temperatures are the same since the bathroom floor has heated by hot water making the tiles get warmer. The weather becomes equal to that of the wood floor since tiles or concreates conduct heat more readily than the wooden materials, so the tile, when heated, warms up, and the thermal equilibrium balances between the two feet (Gyftopoulos & Beretta, 2012,).

Through the explanations above, we see the term temperature. The temperature is the amount of average kinetic energy of the matter, or we can say it is also the measure of coldness or hotness. Its mostly measured on the temperature scale in Celsius and Fahrenheit (Rand, 2011).

As liquid water freezes into ice, we see changes that occur In their states of matter. During this process, shallow temperatures are introduced, and when the temperatures start to lower, water is held together by hydrogen bonds tightening and squeezing together to form a solid. During this process, the molecular kinetic energy reduces because the hydrogen bond contains the molecules tightly, making their motion to decline. The latent heat is released because initially, liquid water had more points than frozen water; hence, when it freezes, it gives out some of the water's strength, and the energy released prevents further cooling(Rand, 2011,).
