  • A
    $80^\circ C.$
  • B
    More than $50^\circ C$ but less than $80^\circ C.$
  • C
    $20^\circ C.$
  • Between $30^\circ C$ and $50^\circ C$.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Between $30^\circ C$ and $50^\circ C$.
Between $30^\circ C$ and $50^\circ C$.

Question 551 Mark
It is preferred to use two thin blankets rather than one thick blanket. Explain the reason.
Answer
In case of two thin blankets, there is an air gap which does not allow heat pass out from the body and it is not as such as in case of one thick blanket.

Question 611 Mark
Why conduction is only possible in solids?
Answer
In solids, generally, the heat is transferred by the process of conduction because particles of solids are closely packed and heat is transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an object.

Question 691 Mark
Convert $90^\circ F$ to $^\circ C$.
Answer
$\text{C}=\Big(\frac{9}{5}\Big)\ (\text{F}-32)$
$^\circ\text{C}=\Big(\frac{5}{9}\Big)\ (90-32)$
$=32.2^\circ\text{C}$

Question 751 Mark
What you should choose in winter one thick blanket or two thin blankets joined together? And why?
Answer
There is a layer of air in between the blankets. Since air is bad conductor of heat prevent body heat to escape out, two thin blankets provides more heat than one thick blanket.

Question 851 Mark
In a mercury thermometer, the level of mercury rises when its bulb comes in contact with a hot object. What is the reason for this rise in the level of mercury?
Answer
As the temperature increases, then expansion in mercury takes place which leads to the rise in the level of mercury in thermometer.

Question 871 Mark
A laboratory thermometer $A$ is kept $7\ cm$ away on the side of the flame while a similar thermometer $B$ is kept $7\ cm$ above the flame of a candle as shown in the figure below. Which of the thermometers, $A$ or $B$, will show a greater rise in temperature? Give reason for your answer.
Answer
Thermometer $B$ will show a greater rise in temperature because hot air rises up or air on the top of the candle flame is getting heated by convection.
