| Worksheet 11.9 2 Thermal Conductivity (i) @ Explanation + The wax on better conductor of heat will take c shorter time to melt. A material with a higher thermal conductivity can conduct heat better thon @ material with o lower thermal conductivity, ‘The sponge cake and the meringue or whipped egg whites trap alr. The sponge coke and the meringue with trapped oir are poor conductors of heat that prevent heat from reaching the ice cream in a short cooking time. Explanation + Good conductors of heat allow heat to travel through them easily. Generally, metals are good conductors of heat. Poor conductors of heat do not allow heat to travel through them easily. Generally, non-metals are poor conductors of heat. A thick coat of feathers. ‘An oil spill will reduce the ability of the bird to keep itself warm. The oil will cause the feathers of the bird to stick together ond be unable to trap air, The feathers then cannot act as the insulating layer to reduce heat loss from the bird to its cold surroundings. Explanation ‘When birds fluff up their feathers, more air is tropped by the feathers. Both air and feathers ore poor conductors of heat that can greatly reduce heat loss from the birds’ bodies to their cold surroundings. A seabird may be poisoned or frozen to death when an oil spill occurs. Worksheet 11.10 Heat () 1 @ Explanation * Bar Y expands more than bar X. 2 ©) () ‘The ice on tray K. OC The crushed ice on tray K had a larger exposed surface area than the ice on tray L, so it absorbed heat faster and melted faster than the ice on tray L. When the metal rim gains heat, it expands and becomes larger. This allows the worker to fit the metal tim onto the plastic wheel easily. ‘When cold water is poured on the metal rim, the metal rim loses heat, it contracts and becomes smaller. This enables the metal rim to hold on to tthe plastic wheel tightly. ‘The metal will expand ond bend/ buckle. ‘When the metal gains heat, it will expand and become longer. As the two ends of the metal are attached firmly to supports, the metal will bend/buckle. Explanation * Matter expands upon heat gain and contracts upon heat loss. Worksheet 11.11 Heat (ii) 1 @) Explanation * Generally, metals such as iron, copper and aluminium are good conductors of heat. Non-metals such as plastic, air and wood are poor conductors of heat. Tt would become less than 1 cm. Both bars would gain heat and expand. As the bars would become longer when they expand, the space ‘would become less than 1 cm. Explonation + Motter expands upon heat gain ond contracts upon heat loss. The mass of the metal block will remain 100 g. When the metal block is heated, it gains heat and expands. Thus, its volume will increase but its mass will remain the same. Explanation + Matter expands upon heat gain and contracts upon heat loss. + +© Educational Publishing House Pie Lid + «+++ +++ Lower Block Thematic Science Process Skils Worksheets: Answers
