When we take a shower with hot water, once we stop receiving water we experience a greater sensation of cold than if we had showered with cold water. Investigate and make an argument based on the concepts studied in physics (especially temperature and heat) and support your arguments with a development of equations or mathematical relationships that demonstrate your answer.
