Question 111.


What is the relationship between melting point and freezing point of a body?


  1.     Both occur at the same temperature.
  2.     Melting point is greater than freezing point.
  3.     Freezing point is greater than melting point.
  4.     It cannot be determined.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Both occur at the same temperature.
:
A

Melting point is the temperature at which a given solid will melt. Freezing point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid when cooled.


Melting and freezing are reverse phenomenon and occur at same temperature. For water, it is  0 °C


Question 112.


Two metallic objects A and B are brought in contact, but there is no heat transfer between them. What is the possible reason for this?


  1.     Temperature of A > Temperature of B
  2.     Temperature of B > Temperature of A
  3.     Temperature of A = Temperature of B
  4.     Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Temperature of A = Temperature of B
:
C
We know, heat always transfers from a body at high temperature to a body at low temperature. Therefore, if two bodies are in contact and they have the same temperature, then there is no net heat transfer between them.
Question 113.


While doing an experiment to measure the temperature at which water boils, Ram keeps the laboratory thermometer completely immersed in water without touching the surface or bottom of the beaker. On the other hand does Shyam does the same experiment with the thermometer touching the bottom of the beaker. Who is more likely to get an accurate reading?


  1.     Ram
  2.     Shyam
  3.     Ram and Shyam will get the same result
  4.     None of them will be able to get an accurate result
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Ram
:
A

Ram will get the accurate result. This is because, when the thermometer touches the base of the container, it results in the transfer of heat directly from the beaker to the thermometer. Thus Shyam would not get the temperature of water accurately.


Question 114.


What is the normal temperature of a human body?


  1.     57C
  2.     37C
  3.     37F
  4.     98.6C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 37C
:
B

A healthy person on an average has a body temperature of 37C which is equal to 98.6F.


Question 115.


Unlike clinical thermometers, laboratory thermometers can measure higher temperatures.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Both land breeze and sea breeze
  4.     Neither land breeze nor sea breeze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Clinical thermometers can measure temperatures from 35 °C to 42 °C whereas the range of laboratory thermometers is 10 °C to 110 °C. So it is true that it can measure higher temperatures.
Question 116.


Which of the following phenomenon occurs during daytime?


  1.     Sea breeze
  2.     Land breeze
  3.     Both land breeze and sea breeze
  4.     Neither land breeze nor sea breeze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Sea breeze
:
A
During the day time, land gets heated faster than water, as water has more specific heat capacity. The air above land becomes hotter than the air above sea and it rises up. So, the winds blow from sea to land to fill the void left by the hot air, which are called sea-breeze.
Question 117.


With an increase in the temperature of a body, the particles become more active.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Both land breeze and sea breeze
  4.     Neither land breeze nor sea breeze
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

As we increase the temperature, the random motion of the particles of a body increases because their kinetic energy increases. So, they are more active than molecules in a cold body.


Question 118.


What is the prominent mode of heat transfer within a liquid when it is heated?


  1.     Conduction
  2.     Convection
  3.     Radiation
  4.     All the modes are dominant
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Convection
:
B
Convection is the dominant process of heat transfer in fluids (such as water). When heated, the molecules in the fluid move from region of higher density to that of lower density. When heated from below, hot water from the bottom move to the top and simultaneously, cold water from the top moves to the bottom.
