ANSWER KEY WORKSHEET No. – 3
Name of the Chapter: Heat
I. Choose the correct option:- (1 x 10= 10M)
1. a. A form of energy
2. c. Thermometer
3. b. Liquids, gases
4. c. Wood
5. a. Becomes hot due to conduction
6. a. 35 ℃ to 42 ℃
7. c. Good conductors of heat
8. b. Radiation
9.a. From hotter body to a colder body
10. b. Air trapped between the layers to newspaper is a bad conductor of heat.

II. Answer in one sentence.( 1 x 10 = 10M)


1. The clinical thermometer has a maximum temperature range of 42°C. So it cannot be
used to measure high temperatures.
2. The kink present in the clinical thermometer prevents the mercury level from falling
down.
3. The range of laboratory thermometer is -10 ℃ to 110 ℃.
4. Conduction, convection and radiation
5. At sea-shore during the day cold air from the sea moves towards the beach because
the land gets more heated than the sea water. Hot air above the land rises up, and cold
air from the sea moves towards the land beach. This is called sea breeze.
6. During the night, cold air from the land moves towards the sea because the land cools
more quickly than the sea water. So hot air above the sea rises up and cold air from
the land moves towards the sea. This is called land breeze.

7. If we hold a thermometer by its bulb, the mercury in the bulb will expand due to our
body temperature.
8. The clinical thermometer has a maximum temperature range of 42°C and the
temperature of flame is more than that.
9. Water kept in a black pot will cool faster because blackened surface is a good radiator
than a silvered surface.
10. In hot season, the outer walls of the houses should be painted white, because white
colour reflects back the heat radiation which falls upon it. That is why the rooms
remain cool, they do not warm up in summer.

III Answer in two to three sentences. (2 x 10 =20M)


1. The temperature of other object may not be the same as that of the bulb of the
thermometer. When bulb is brought in contact with that object, the temperature of the bulb
changes. So the level of mercury also changes.
2. Light coloured clothes reflect most of the heat that fall on them and we feel more
comfortable wearing them in summer. Dark clothes absorb more heat so we feel
comfortable with dark coloured clothes in winter.
3. A thermometer used to measure the maximum and minimum temperature of previous day
is called Maximum-Minimum thermometer. It is used by the weather department to
report/predict the weather.
4. The process by which heat is transferred from hotter end to colder end of metal is called
conduction. In this process, molecules of substance do not move but heat energy is
transferred. In solids generally, the heat is transferred by the process of conduction.
5. Handle of a metallic kettle is covered with strips of cane because when kettle is heated, the
heat does not pass through strips of cane. The strips of cane are bad conductor of heat and
we may hold the handle with our bare hands.
6. Wool is a poor conductor of heat. In the winter, we use woollen clothes. The wool fibres
trap the air in between them. This air prevents the flow of heat from our body to the cold
surroundings. So, we feel warm.
7. The molecules of solid are held strongly due to intermolecular forces and thus cannot
move from one place to another place of the solid. So, convection is not possible in solids
8. A few sharp jerks given to clinical thermometer before using it because the jerk to the
thermometer will allow the mercury in or above the kink to flow into the bulb so that the
mercury level is below normal temperature.

9. 1. Position 'P' will feel warmer due to the hot air rising up.
2. P —> Convection T —> Radiation
10.
Sr. Convection Conduction
no
1 A method of heat transfers A method of heat transfers through solids
through fluids, i.e., liquids and
gases.
2 In convection, the transfer of heat In conduction, the transfer of heat is without
is by the movement of the fluid movement of matter as a whole.
itself.

III Answer in three to four sentences. (3 x 5 = 15M)


1. Clinical thermometer : It is used to measure the body temperature of a human body. The
scale on its stem shows temperature from- 35°C to 42°C. It has a slight 'bent' or 'kink' in the
capillary tube just above the bulb.
Laboratory thermometer : It is used to measure the temperature of different objects in the
laboratory. The scale on its stem shows temperature from-10°C to 110°C. A laboratory
thermometer is bigger in size than clinical thermometer and kept upright and not tilted
when making measurement.
2. The thermometer which is used to measure the temperature of objects in laboratory is
called laboratory thermometer. The range is -10°C to 110°C. It also contains a thread of
mercury.

3.i. The thermometer should be kept upright not tilted.


ii. Mercury does not stick to the walls of the thermometer like water.
iii. Mercury can be easily collected when thermometer breaks.
iv. It shines more than water and can be seen easily in thin glass tube of the thermometer.
4.When we come out in the sun, we feel warm. The heat cannot reach us by conduction or
convection because there is no any material medium such as air in most part of the space
between the earth and sun. Therefore, heat comes to us by the process called radiation from
the sun. It can take place whether a medium is present or not.

5.Touching objects with your hands is not a measure of hotness and coldness because if you
take your hand from a cold water to normal water, it appears warm. On the other hand, if
you take your hand from warm water to normal water, it appears cold. Thus, the same water
may give you different feeling thus deceiving you.

III Answer the following. (5 x 5 = 25M)


1. (a)Mercury is used as thermometric fluid because :
(i) It expands easily and uniformly on heating.
(ii) It can be used over a wide range of temperature.
(iii) It is easily visible, being opaque and shining.
(iv) It does not stick to the sides of a glass tube.
(b) The handles of most utensils are made of plastic and wood because plastic and wood are
poor conductors of heat. We can easily hold the handle with bare hands even if the utensils
are hot. This helps us to remove hot utensils from the flame.

2. (a) A clinical thermometer consists of a long narrow, uniform glass tube. It has a bulb at
one end which contains shining liquid mercury. Outside the bulb a small thread can be seen
in which mercury can flow. It has scale marked from 35°C to 42°C.

(b) We cannot use clinical thermometer for measuring the temperature of any object more
than 420 C (more than body temperature). It may break if kept in the sun or near a flame.

3. When water is heated, the water at the bottom gets hot. Hot water rises
up from the sides. The cold water from the sides moves down towards the
bottom or source of heat. This water also gets hot and rises up and cold
water again moves down. This process continues till the whole water gets
heated. This mode of transfer of heat is known as convection.

4. The following precautions are to be taken while reading a clinical thermometer :


(a) Thermometer should be washed before or after use, preferably with an antiseptic

4
solution.
(b) By giving a jerk, ensure that before use the mercury level is below 35°C.
(c) Keep the thermometer below the tongue of the person for 30-60 seconds.
(d) Read the thermometer keeping the of mercury along the line of sight.
(e) Do not hold the thermometer by the bulb while reading the temperature..

5. At sea-shore during the day cold air from the sea moves towards the beach because the
land gets more heated than the sea water. Hot air above the land rises up, and cold air from
the sea moves towards the land beach. This is called sea breeze. During the night, cold air
from the land moves towards the sea because the land cools more quickly than the sea water.
So hot air above the sea rises up and cold air from the land moves towards the sea. This is
called land breeze.
