Question 11. 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 from35°Cto42°Cwhereas the range of laboratory thermometers is10°Cto110°C. So it is true that it can measure higher temperatures.
Question 12. 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 13. Which of the following cools down faster?
  1.    Land
  2.    Water
  3.    Both cool down at the same rate
  4.    Sometimes land and sometimes water
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Land
:
A
Land cools down faster than water. As a resultduring night, the air above land becomes cooler than that above sea. So, a breeze blows from land to seaand we call thatland-breeze.
Question 14. Which thermometer is used to measure the extreme temperatures of the day, as reported in a newspaper?
  1.    Clinical thermometer
  2.    Laboratory thermometer
  3.    Max-Min or Six's thermometer
  4.    Alcohol thermometer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Max-Min or Six's thermometer
:
C
A Max-Min or Six's thermometer is used to measure the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.
The Six'sthermometeris a registering thermometerwhich can record themaximumandminimum temperatures reached over a period of time, for example, 24 hours. It is used to record the extremes of temperature at a location.
Question 15. A reliable measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body is called its_________
  1.    mass
  2.    volume
  3.    temperature
  4.    potential energy
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> temperature
:
C
Temperature is a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.It is proportional to the average kinetic energy of all the molecules presentin an object. It is represented according to a comparativescale and is measuredby a thermometer.
Question 16. ____ is the device used to measure temperature.
  1.    Manometer
  2.    Thermometer
  3.    Ammeter
  4.    Stethoscope
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Thermometer
:
B
A thermometer is an instrument used for measuring temperature. Some of the common thermometers used are clinical, lab and digital thermometer.
Amanometer is an instrument used to measure pressure differences.
An ammeter is used to measure current.
A stethoscopeis an acoustic medical device used forlistening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body.
Question 17. A wooden spoon is dipped in a cup of ice cream. Its other end _____.
  1.    becomes cold by the process of convection
  2.    becomes cold by the process of conduction
  3.    becomes cold by the process of radiation
  4.    does not become cold
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> does not become cold
:
D
The other end of wooden spoon does not become cold as wood is a poor conductor of heat and electricity and hence, it belongs to the category of insulators.
Question 18. Which of the following is used to measure body temperature?
  1.    Clinical thermometer
  2.    Laboratory thermometer
  3.    Max-Min thermometer
  4.    Indoor-outdoor thermometer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Clinical thermometer
:
A
A clinical thermometer is used to measure body temperature. It indicates temperatures from a minimum of 35Cor95F to a maximum of 42Cor108F.
Question 19. A material which allows heat to easily pass through it is known as ___.
  1.    conductor
  2.    insulator
  3.    radiator
  4.    resistor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> conductor
:
A
A conductor allowsheat to pass through it whereas an insulator obstructs the passage of heat. A radiator is a substance which emits heat or light.
Question 20. The transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gaseous phase without passing through the intermediate liquid phase is known as ___.
  1.    boiling
  2.    melting
  3.    sublimation
  4.    freezing
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> sublimation
:
C
Sublimationis aprocess where a solid turns into a gas without going through a liquid stage. Solid carbon dioxide which is more commonly known as "dry ice"sublimates at room temperature.
