Answer to Question 1

Heat will always flow from where there is more to where there is less. In the case of a glass of ice water, the least amount of energy is in the ice. Conduction causes energy to flow from the drink into the ice, cooling the drink. This in turn causes energy to flow from the warmer glass into the cold drink, cooling the glass. Finally, heat flows from the warmer air molecules colliding with the glass into the cooler glass, so that the air near the glass also cools down. Eventually, this entire process causes the air near the glass surface to be cooled to its dew point. Once this happens, the air becomes saturated and ambient humidity is forced to start condensing out of it, forming the 'sweat' on the side of the glass.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
