Question 51. What is the temperature range of a human body? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
The temperature of the human bodydoes not generally go below 35C or above 42C.
Question 52. State any two effects of heat. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Effects: 1 Mark each
The effects of heat energy are the following:
(i)When heat is supplied to a body, its temperature rises.
(ii) When heat is supplied to a body it expands, i.e. its dimensions are changed. Material bodies expand on heating and contract on cooling.
Question 53. What is the normal temperature of a human body?
  1.    57∘C
  2.    37∘C
  3.    37∘F
  4.    98.6∘C
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 37∘C
:
B
A healthy person on an average has a body temperature of 37Cwhich is equal to 98.6F.
Question 54. Clinical thermometers are always ______.
  1.    mercury based only
  2.    digital only
  3.    either mercury based or digital
  4.    coloured alcohol based
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> either mercury based or digital
:
C
Clinical thermometers aresmall medical thermometers used formeasuringa person's temperature. Mercury-based clinical thermometers have been considered the most accurate liquid-filled thermometertype. However, Mercury is a poisonousmetal. Therefore asafer and an accurate alternative option, is to use digital clinical thermometers. Thus, both mercury and digital clinical thermometers are used.
Question 55. Hotness of a body is relative.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
A body is defined as hot or cold with respect to some reference. Hotness of a body is generallystated with reference to another body or the surrounding.
Question 56. 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 theaccurate result. This is because, when the thermometer touchesthe base of the container, itresults in the transfer of heat directly from the beakerto the thermometer. Thus Shyamwould not get the temperature of water accurately.
Question 57. 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 isthe 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 is0°C
Question 58. 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.
Question 59.


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 35C or 95F to a maximum of 42C or 108F.
Question 60.


Which of these is true about the direction of heat flow?


  1.     Heat flows from a hot body to a cold body.
  2.     Heat flows from a cold body to a hot body.
  3.     Heat flows from a greater height to a lower height.
  4.     Heat flows in a random manner.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Heat flows from a hot body to a cold body.
:
A
Heat flows from a hot body to a cold body. When two bodies, one hot and another cold, come in contact with each other, the fast moving molecules of the hot body collide with the slow moving molecules of the cold body and the molecules of cold body becomes faster. As a result, the molecules of hot body become slower and the body becomes cooler, whereas the cold body becomes warmer. This continues till both the bodies reach a common temperature, i.e thermal equilibruim is attained.
